Guy Sebastian Hospitalized After Ruptured Achilles in AFL Charity Match

Australian singer Guy Sebastian and former AFL player Brendan Fevola teamed up to help the struggling Masala Dandenong Football Club break a long losing streak with a narrow 55–53 victory. The event was part of a promotional effort, with Sebastian performing at halftime and Fevola kicking six goals, showing his classic form despite being retired. Unfortunately, Sebastian ruptured his Achilles tendon during the game and was rushed to hospital for surgery, an injury confirmed by Fevola who noted Sebastian had been pushing himself beyond expectations. Sebastian shared his injury news on social media, expressing regret but humorously acknowledging his limitations with the hashtags #realitycheck and #sticktosinging. Fevola revealed that Sebastian initially only planned to play the first quarter and sing at halftime but decided to continue playing, which led to the serious injury. The incident overshadowed what had been a joyful day for the club and fans, marking a bittersweet moment in the collaborative effort to support the local team.
