AUSTIN: Girl group KATSEYE celebrated singer Lara Raj’s 21st birthday during its “Wildworld Tour” return on Tuesday, after postponing three concerts while member Megan Skiendiel recovered from a concussion.
Members brought out a cake and led the audience in singing “Happy Birthday” at Moody Centre. Lara turned 21 on November 3, when the group had originally scheduled its Detroit concert.
She later shared the celebration on Instagram Stories and thanked the group’s fans, known as EYEKONS.
Tuesday’s show brought KATSEYE back to the stage after interruptions to its North American schedule. The group had postponed performances in Detroit, Chicago and Minneapolis following Megan’s injury.
Megan joined the Austin performance but remained seated for most of the concert. She sang from a chair at the side of the stage while other members performed the choreography.
Before the concert, Megan explained on Weverse that she felt better but was still recovering. Her modified performance involved reduced choreography, less intense movement and breaks when needed.
“My doctors have recommended these limitations for now,” she wrote. She added that she needed to be reassessed before returning to unrestricted performances.

The next scheduled concert is at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
