Ray J Sparks Concern After Dramatic Onstage Appearance Amid Health Battle

Ray J left fans stunned after performing with what appeared to be bleeding eyes and medical equipment taped to his chest during a Feb. 14 concert in Shreveport, Louisiana. The 45-year-old singer, known for his hit “One Wish,” wore sunglasses onstage with what looked like blood dripping from one eye. The show also featured performances by Kelly Price and Bobby Valentino.
Ahead of the performance, Ray J wrote on Facebook, “I’m putting my life on the line for this show!!” Fan-captured videos circulating online showed him removing his sunglasses to reveal what appeared to be blood pooled beneath both eyes. When he later unzipped his orange jumpsuit, something resembling a heart monitor seemed taped to his chest, with the surrounding skin appearing bloodied, prompting concern among viewers. In a backstage clip, however, he addressed speculation about his condition, insisting he was “perfectly fine” and telling critics not to laugh at him being sick.
The dramatic performance comes weeks after Ray J revealed he may only have months to live following a hospitalization for severe pneumonia and ongoing heart complications. He previously shared that years of heavy drug and alcohol use damaged the right side of his heart and that doctors have prescribed multiple medications to extend his life. The singer has been warned to avoid drinking and smoking and may need a pacemaker or defibrillator after an upcoming medical evaluation, as he continues to confront his health challenges publicly.
