Former tango king Saska Helmikallio tells on Facebook having been hospitalized.
– Tukka in an ambulance to a big church, for once you don’t have to drive yourself, Helmikallio wrote in connection with the photo.
The update was published on the evening of Christmas Day, and in the picture he is lying in a hospital bed.
Helmikallio says he broke his leg when he fell.
The update has received many “Get well soon” messages and worried comments.
– Not serious. The leg is cut and plastered so that you can then rest, answers one concerned comment.
Helmikallio told to the Tanssiin.fi website more about his injury.
– Now it happened that I slipped and broke my leg. Apparently you should be careful even when walking there. Plaster work, Helmikallio said.
Helmikallio was supposed to perform today at Imatra’s Pajarinhov, but Helmikallio’s performance had to be canceled. Instead of Pearlkallio, Pajarinhov performs Petri Hervanto.
Helmikallio was elected Tango King in 2005. Before his victory, he had advanced to the semi-finals of the Tango market twice.
