With a history like hers, Liza Minnelli must count herself lucky every second that she doesn’t suddenly get ill, fall out of a tree or get trampled by a herd of furious stoats.

And, in the big scheme of things, Liza Minnelli collapsing and falling off the stage during a concert in Sweden really isn’t the most important thing that’s ever happened to her. But it is the most recent, so we’ll go with that. Liza Minnelli collapsed and fell off the stage during a concert in Sweden on Wednesday night, and was briefly hospitalised before returning to America. Although Liza is recovering well, that’ll be cold comfort to the Swedes – a 61-year-old woman with a funny haircut ploughing through her billionth rendition of New York, New York as part of a slightly overpriced Christmas carol concert would have been the most exciting thing to happen to Sweden, probably since the invention of herring.
