Lewis’ Fears Over Riding Accident
By WENNTuesday, February 23, 2010
LEONA LEWIS feared she would be left paralysed after her horse riding accident last month (Jan10) - just like tragic SUPERMAN actor CHRISTOPHER REEVE.
The Bleeding Love hitmaker was left nursing a string of injuries after she fell from her steed, but the brave singer was back in the saddle just a week later.
And Lewis is grateful she escaped relatively unscathed, because her first thought after the fall was late star Reeve, who was paralysed following a riding accident in 1995.
She tells Britain’s OK! magazine, “Falling off my horse (was my scariest moment.) I hit my head and I also injured my leg and arm. You think about people like Christopher Reeve - and that could be you. I always thought I’d get up on any horse, but that made me realise I’m not invincible.”
