Chris Brown's representative cites stress for singer's ill health

Written by . Published: August 11 2013

Chris Brown's representative has blamed the stress of the singer's ongoing legal troubles for his health scare on Friday (09Aug13).


The singer collapsed in the early hours of Friday at a recording studio in Los Angeles and reports suggested he had suffered a non-epileptic seizure.


An ambulance was called, but Brown is said to have refused treatment.


A representative for the star has now spoken out about the incident, blaming the health scare on "intense fatigue and extreme emotional stress, both due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters and the nonstop negativity".


Brown, 24, is facing a possible prison sentence after he was booked on a hit-and-run charge relating to a car accident in May (13). His probation stemming from his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna was revoked, and he faces up to four years behind bars if found guilty of the hit-and-run.


He is due back in court on 15 August (13).
