Ashlee Simpson returns to US after Health Scare; Band Continues Tour of Japan Without Her
LOS ANGELES-- After fainting following a performance in Japan, Ashlee Simpson returned to the US on Saturday, "to be closer to her publicist."
Simpson, the younger sister of the equally vapid Jessica Simpson, will convalesce at her home in Los Angeles. She is suffering from Diva-related fatigue, according to Dr. Wayne Malatesta. "For normal people, it would be treated by taking a nap, maybe going to bed early. But as a young diva, her immune system is fragile from years of living on veggie wraps and Kool 100 menthols," according to Malatesta. "It maybe weeks before she is able to lip-synch again."
Simpson was in the middle of her song "Boyfriend," when she abruptly left the stage. Her band continued to play, as they usually do whenever she leaves the stage in the middle of a song.
"We're pretty much used to it by now," said drummer Alan Robinson. "We just keep playing like we always do. Why not? I mean, it's not like the vocal track in the sound booth stopped."
Robinson said the band plans to continue the tour without Simpson.
"We feel we play better when she's not there, anyway," said Robinson. "We can really rock out without worrying about her throwing us off."
"People don't seem to mind that Ashlee herself isn't there. The audiences have been phenomenal."
