Singer Phil Collins rushed to the hospital after falling in his hotel room

British star suffers from a back condition due to a previous operation

Singer-songwriter Phil Collins was rushed to hospital after falling on the way to a toilet at a hotel in London.

The 66-year-old, who is "recovering well," reportedly tripped over a step in his hotel bedroom on Wednesday, following a performance at the Royal Albert Hall, leaving him with a gash in his forehead. He has postponed two of his London shows.

An ambulance transported Collins to a London hospital where it is believed he underwent a surgery. An official statement was released on the In the Air Tonight singer's Facebook page, informing fans about the postponement of the shows.



"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," the statement read.

"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."

For those with tickets, Collins' Royal Albert Hall shows will be rearranged for November 26-27 this year.
