Makayla Brownlee suffers from a rare heart condition called vasovagal syncope
Taking the stage for her solo performance of Kacey Musgraves’ “Rainbow,” Brownlee seemed to become disoriented in her speech and quickly walked offstage before collapsing to the floor.“I’m going to go check on her,” Bryan said, before heading backstage.After being properly evaluated, Makayla’s dad explained the reason behind his daughter’s sudden collapse.“In seventh grade, I was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope,” Brownlee told the cameras after the incident.
Added Brownee’s, “She can’t control it. She’s embarrassed, but physically, she’s 100 percent all right. This opportunity is so important for her. I’d hate to see it inhibited in any way because she’s such a good singer. She works so hard at it.” A few hours later, Brownlee returned to the stage to a standing ovation and sang her heart out — a performance that brought Perry to tears.
