LONDON – Singer Morrissey was rushed to hospital Saturday after collapsing on stage with breathing problems, according to news reports.
The 50-year-old former frontman of 1980s pop band The Smiths fell ill following the opening song during a performance in Swindon.
"Just after 9 p.m. we got a call to a 50-year-old man who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious," said a spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service told British news outlets.
"When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all."
His condition was not thought to be life threatening, she added. He was said to be in stable condition.
