Indonesian singer Irma Bule bitten by cobra on stage keeps singing for 45 MINUTES before collapsing and dying

WARNING: Distressing content. Irma Bule was performing a concert with her usual reptile accompaniment when one bit her, administering lethal toxins

An Indonesian pop star collapsed and died on stage 45 minutes after she was bitten by one of her performance cobras.

Irma Bule was known for wearing snakes during her acts, but the king cobra which she danced with on Sunday had not been defanged.

The tragic 29-year-old was performing in a village in Karawang, West Java, in her native Indonesia when the incident happened.

After her first song, she accidentally stood on the cobra, called Rianti.

The reptile then bit her on the leg, injecting venom into her bloodstream, reports Coconuts . A video appears to have captured the moment.

Although the star kept her show going - reportedly tuing down an antidote from the snake handler - after 45 minutes witnesses said she started vomiting.

After a number of seizures, she collapsed.

Irma was then taken to hospital , but passed away soon after.
