- A professional dancer is suing Andrea Bocelli's North American promoter, claiming a concert performance left him with "catastrophic injuries" that derailed his career.
- Uros Markovic alleges he repeatedly warned producers that the stage was dangerously unstable and the intense light show was disorienting—but says the performance went ahead anyway.
- Markovic says he suffered a complete hamstring tear during the show, endured multiple surgeries, developed a serious infection and spent 17 days in the hospital before beginning a lengthy recovery.
- The lawsuit claims the injury cost Markovic some of the biggest opportunities of his career, including a role on a "Dancing with the Stars" spinoff and future international performances with Bocelli.
- Markovic says the injuries have permanently affected his health, earning potential and professional reputation, and is seeking damages for medical bills, lost income, emotional distress and other losses.
