Morrissey discharged from hospital after collapsing at gig
British singing legend Morrissey has reportedly been discharged from a UK hospital.
The singer, real name Steven Patrick Morrissey, collapsed with breathing difficulties during a gig in front of 1,000 fans.
He was taken to hospital after being dragged off-stage unconscious and treated by paramedics on-site.
An unidentified spokeswoman for the Great Western Hospital, in Swindon, confirmed that the singer stayed overnight at the hospital.
The incident took place at the Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre, where fans said he looked pale and “winced” before collapsing.
Earlier this year, Morrissey cancelled tour dates for an unspecified illness. He is scheduled to begin a tour in Europe in November, and is to stage nine performances in the US.
Jillian Moody, who was at the gig, said, “He kept putting his hand up to his mouth as if he felt sick or – perhaps he was trying to hide something, but he didn’t look particularly comfortable.”
