Sean Kingston Critically Injured in Jet Ski Accident Near Miami Beach

Monday, May 30, 2011

Update 1: Sean is out of the Trauma ward and has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
------
Rapper Sean Kingston is in critical condition in a Miami hospital.

Local news is reporting that Kingston and a female companion were thrown from a jet ski after hitting a concrete bridge Sunday evening near Miami Beach.

Kingston and his passenger were rescued by other boaters nearby and rescue crews stabilized them before transporting both to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Sean’s injuries are critical and he is being treated in the trauma center. The hospital has not released any update as of Monday morning.

A rep for the singer said,

“Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes."

Two men near the accident scene jumped into the water and pulled Kingston to safety and say the rapper was vomiting blood but was also talking and somewhat responsive.

Due to Sean’s size it was difficult to keep his head above water, but they held onto Kingston until police could get a boat out to him.

Once onshore, he was loaded into a waiting ambulance and transported to the hospital to be stabilized.

Kingston is well known for his song “Beautiful Girls” and for his video appearance in Justin Bieber’s music video "Eenie Meenie" as well as appearing on stage with Bieber during his North American concert tours.

Kingston has also made guest appearances on popular television shows including “90210” and “The Suite Life on Deck” with Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

His song “Fire Burning” has been featured on “Dancing With the Stars”, “So You Think you can Dance?”, “Yo Gabba Gabba!” and “Melrose Place”.

Justin Bieber Injures Back Wakeboarding in Bali – Remaining Tour Dates In Question.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

Seems like Justin Bieber did more than put on a great show in the rain in Bali last week.

While out on a boat with friends and fellow tour member Alfredo Flores, Bieber injured his back wake-boarding.

Bieber took to twitter saying,

“Crazy 24 hours of travel...back is messed up....but we are smiling. We finally made it. AUSTRALIA we are here. Brisbane Leggo!”

After his show he posted,

“back is in ALOT of pain but incredible show tonight. BRISBANE was #BEAST - Australia is about to be a party the next 2 weeks”

Bieber is in Australia finishing the last five shows on his My World Tour.

After Justin saw a back specialist, the doctor insisted that the teen sensation cancel his Brisbane concert. Bieber did not agree and performed anyway. He is next due to perform Thursday, April 28 in Sydney.

A back specialist told us,

“The type of injury from wakeboarding needs rest to heal. If he performs he runs the risk of exacerbating the condition and making it worse. If it gets better he should be alright, but if it gets worse than he may have no choice but to cancel to prevent permanent damage.”

Fortunately, Bieber only has a couple of more shows before he is back in the United States for a little relief from his touring schedule.

After returning to Atlanta, Bieber plans to start work on his third album expected for release in late fall.
