Singer Collins in hospital after fall
Phil Collins was yesterday rushed to hospital with a severe gash close to his eye, forcing him to postpone a number of shows, his management said.
The former Genesis star, 66, tripped in his London hotel room and hit his head on a chair during a visit to the toilet on Wednesday night, hours after he performed at the Royal Albert Hall as part of his comeback tour.
Collins suffers from a “drop foot” following a back operation which causes him difficulty walking. He was taken to hospital, where he was given stitches for the cut on his head and will be kept under observation for 24 hours.
His scheduled Thursday and Friday concerts at the venue have been postponed.
