Rachelle Ann Go rejoined the “Hamilton” tour in Singapore after her almost five-week break due to pneumonia, which also caused her to lose 11 lbs.

The singer-theater actress gave an update on her health, showing herself at the backstage of a theater in Marina Bay Sands, through her Instagram Stories on Friday, May 31.

“Last night, I came back to do the ‘Hamilton’ international tour after being off for almost [five] weeks because of pneumonia,” she said.

“[I] lost 11 lbs, too. It was tough,” she admitted. “Hirap huminga, [but] they gave me so much love so I survived.”
