Bebe Rexha shares update of 'black and blue' eye after scary stage attack
Bebe Rexha has shared an update on her gruesome injury, which was sustained after getting hit in the face with a phone while performing on stage last week.
The 33-year-old singer was performing in New York City when an unprovoked attack prompted her to fall to her knees in pain, leaving her with a nasty black eye and needing stitches.
Since the attack, the I'm Good hitmaker's fans have been concerned about the star, regularly asking her how she's doing and if she was recovering well.
Bebe was prompted to reply to one fan, who quizzed: "Are you feeling better though? How are your recovering?"
She quote-tweeted the question with a close selfie of her eye, which showed her previously black eye slightly cleared up since the last time she shared a snap of the injury. However, the plaster on her eyebrow, where she had to get stitches, remained there.

Needless to say, it's been a tough week for the singer, who was overcome with emotion as she returned to the stage in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, just days after the attack.
It came after a spokesperson for the New York City Police Department confirmed to The Mirror that Nicolas Malvagna, 27, had been arrested and charged with assault.
