The internationally celebrated Pakistani songstress Shae Gill, who sky-rocketed to fame with the viral anthem “Pasoori,” has been injured following a dramatic drone collision during a live concert in Islamabad. The incident occurred on Sunday evening at the Park View City Grand Carnival, a high-profile musical event that drew thousands of fans. As Gill was mid-performance, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used for event filming reportedly veered off course, hurtling towards the stage and striking the artist in front of a stunned audience.
Following the accident, Gill took to social media to provide her fans with a detailed account of the ordeal. In a candid Instagram post, she expressed her frustration over the lack of technical oversight, alleging that the device was being piloted by an “unprofessional” operator. “I was performing at Park View City when a drone, handled by an amateur, came straight at me at high speed,” she explained. The high-velocity impact resulted in a serious injury to her hand, which required immediate clinical intervention.
The singer confirmed that she has since received a tetanus injection and is currently in a stable condition, though the psychological shock of the event remains. The Grand Carnival, which spanned three days and featured other prominent artists such as Sahir Ali Bagga and Falak Shabir, was briefly overshadowed by the security breach. The incident has raised significant concerns regarding the regulation of aerial technology at large-scale public gatherings, with many calling for stricter licensing for drone operators working in close proximity to performers.
