Phil Collins rushed to hospital after a 'dramatic fall' on way to bathroom; postpones London shows

Phil Collins' London shows have been postponed after he was rushed to the hospital late on Wednesday. The 66-year-old musician sustained serious injuries after a dramatic fall in his hotel bathroom last night.

A Facebook post from Collins' official account states that the singer suffers from "drop foot" because of which he missed a step and hit his head on a chair. The post also confirmed that Collins' performance at Royal Albert Hall in London will happen later.

"We, unfortunately, have to announce that Phil Collins' performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London will be postponed tonight (June 8) and tomorrow (June 9). Phil suffers from 'drop foot' as a result of a back operation which makes it difficult to walk," the Facebook post read. 

"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. He will be kept under observation for 24 hours.

"Phil sends his sincere apologies and thanks to fans. He has had a fantastic week at his first shows in 10 years, cannot thank people enough for their warm reaction and is excited to return.

"These Royal Albert Hall shows will be rearranged for November 26th and 27th this year. All tickets for June 8th will be valid for November 26th and tickets for June 9th will be valid for November 27th.

"He will carry on with this tour on Sunday in Cologne and then Paris before returning to London for his headline performance at BST Hyde Park on June 30th," the post added.

Collins announced his retirement in 2011 after suffering from nerve damage, but last year, the musician announced that he will return with the tour.

The singer has several health problems. In 2000, he lost his hearing in one ear due to viral infection. Due to nerve damage, he couldn't play the drums. In 2010, he said that he has feelings of depression and even contemplated suicide.
