Phil Collins postpones shows after injury

Award winning singer, Phil Collins has been rushed to hospital after a fall forcing the singer to postpone two of his London shows. The 66-year-old singer tripped over a step in his hotel bedroom following a performance at the Royal Albert Hall leaving him with a gash in his forehead. Ambulances transported Collins to a London hospital where it’s believed he underwent surgery.

An official statement was released on his Facebook page informing fans that tonight and tomorrow’s shows will be postponed.

It reads: “Phil suffers from ‘drop foot’ as a result of a back operation which makes it difficult to walk. He rose in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and slipped in his hotel room, hitting his head in the fall on a chair. He was taken to hospital where he had stitches for a severe gash on his head close to his eye and is recovering well. Phil sends his sincere apologies and thanks to fans. He has had a fantastic week at his first shows in ten years, cannot thank people enough for their warm reaction and is excited to return.”
