BRITISH rock band drummer Jamie Morrison has been rushed to hospital minutes before he was set to take the stage.
The Stereophonics star, who is also a drummer in 86TVs, was expected to perform at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham.
86TVs official account issued a statement to fans, which read: “We had quite a dramatic day yesterday when, minutes before doors opened in Nottingham, Jamie was rushed into hospital.
“He is still in there and has been strongly advised by doctors to not attempt to do the shows this week.”
They went on to say: “We are all heartbroken about this – the shows on this run really have been our best ever – but obviously health comes first. Please send your love and get wells to one of the best to ever do it.”
They added: “Huge apologies to anyone who has made plans for these shows, especially with long distance travel. We know there are a number of you that have had plans around this for a long time and were planning on sending off this record with us this week.”
The band were nearing the end of their 2024 tour, with dates remaining in Manchester, Bristol, London, Cambridge and Leeds scheduled up until December 1.
But they have announced to fans that the tour had ended early today.
