Morrissey Collapses On Stage
2009-10-24 by Dave de Sylvia STAFF | 29 Replies | 1745 Views

Pop singer Morrissey is in stable condition following an on-stage collapse at a concert in Swindon, England.

The 50-year-old was taken to hospital after falling to the stage floor just minutes into his performance at the Oasis Leisure Centre, shortly after finishing his opening song, the Smiths classic 'This Charming Man.'

The singer, real name Stephen Patrick Morrissey, has already cancelled a number of dates this year in Australia and the US due to "unspecified illness," however his collapse still came as a shock to fans.

A spokesman for the Great Western hospital said: "Morrissey is being reviewed by the medical staff and his condition is stable."

The status of future scheduled gigs in unclear.
