Lebanese singer Elissa has said she is “feeling better” after collapsing on stage during her concert on Friday at Global Village.

The singer posted a message on her Twitter saying: “I am feeling better. Nothing serious don’t worry! This concert will definitely be memorable! I love you all.”

She further added: “Thank u for all your well wishes! I love to keep my dubai concerts memorable. Joke aside, I’m healthy thank u for ur support [sic].”
