Hong Kong star Andy Lau’s recovery to take up to nine months after being thrown from horse on shoot
Entertainer says in blog post that he will need to be hospitalised for another six to eight weeks
Hong Kong actor and singer Andy Lau Tak-wah will need up to nine months to recover from a pelvic injury after he was thrown off a horse during a commercial shoot in Thailand last week.
The 55-year-old entertainer and producer has been undergoing treatment at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital and will require further hospitalisation for the next six to eight weeks, he confirmed in a post on his official blog.
Lau said he had suffered multiple pelvic fractures and muscle tendon strains, but added that his condition had stabilised over the past few days.
Doctors estimated that his recovery could take between six to nine months, according to a statement from Topman Global, a subsidiary of Focus Group, the film and artiste management business Lau founded.
“I will fully comply with the recommendations of the medical team,” Lau wrote in his blog post. “I know your pain will not be any less than mine. I will rest quietly and quickly get better!”
