The rock star, who is 68 years old, was performing his classic hit ‘I’d Do Anything for Love’ when he dramatically fell to the floor and the concert had to be called off. Many fans were filming the singer the incident occurred and clips have since surfaced online of the shocking moment.
However, it has been reported that he is doing well and recovering in hospital. A statement for the singer read ‘his heartfelt thanks for everyone’s support and well wishes” and said he is “expecting a speedy and full recovery’.
