Drummer Suddenly Collapses During Live Performance in Khon Kaen

54-year-old drummer, Natthawut Sukkham, abruptly fainted during a live music concert, startling his bandmates who hurried to his assistance. When Natthawut recounted the episode, he considered health problems and possibly even paranormal factors as explanations for his unexpected collapse.

 

On July 17th, in the evening, Natthawut was performing with his band at the Nakharach Khu music camp in Khon Kaen when the incident took place. According to his description, he felt a sensation similar to a kick and mounting pressure in his skull before he passed out. After approximately a minute, he regained consciousness due to his friends' appeals.

 

Natthawut stated, "I felt an intense pain in my forehead and nose from falling face-down, causing some bleeding. I took rest until I felt better and did not require a hospital visit as I felt normal the next day."

 

The head of the camp, after observing the incident online, consulted a doctor who prescribed blood-thinners for Natthawut. In retrospect, Natthawut suspects his fall may have resulted from lack of sleep, a common lifestyle factor for musicians, or possibly supernatural forces. He also mentioned he only consumes alcohol during performances and doesn't smoke.

 

Earlier the same day, the music camp held a Buddhist holy ceremony. Natthawut reported a weighty sensation in his head while the monks were chanting but felt completely fine afterward, only to faint during the evening's concert. At first, his friends thought he had fatally collapsed due to his absence of response and his eyes rolling back, but he soon regathered consciousness.

 

 

The music camp has witnessed multiple bands visit briefly before leaving, but Natthawut and his band have been constant fixtures. Before his fall, Natthawut recalls two dreams: an elderly woman smiling at him from the foot of his bed on July 13, and receiving a gold necklace and bracelet from someone on July 15.

 

Earlier on the day of his collapse, a bandmate's brother revealed that his sibling had died in the building now used as the music camp. However, it's uncertain whether this information relates to Natthawut's incident, who also mentioned a previous fainting spell 20 years ago due to tiredness. This raises the question of whether his present condition may warrant a check-up. However, he echoes that some events possibly extend beyond human comprehension.

 

Phra Thong Intanon, who was present during the live concert, also shared the disconcerting experience of watching Natthawut swoon. He initially mistaken the episode as a prank until Natthawut fell unconscious. Phra Thong managed to wake him after about two minutes. Despite arranging for an ambulance, Natthawut declined to go to the hospital as he felt better.

 

Phra Thong admitted that he had never seen Natthawut in such a condition before, which was a cause for concern. He stressed the importance of maintaining good health for musicians, who are typically prone to health problems, especially those who consume alcohol and smoke.
