Rag'n'Bone Man updates fans from hospital after last-minute show cancellation
Rag'n'Bone Man shared a health update with his fans a day after needing to cancel a European show after his team said he had 'fallen ill'
Rag'n'Bone Man took to social media to update fans on his health after cancelling a gig last minute. The singer, 40, whose real name is Rory Graham, has been on tour in Europe, but had to cancel a gig last minute following a medical issue.
The BRIT Award winner, who had already taken to the stage at festivals held in Romania and Latvia last week as part of his latest run of appearances, stunned fans by announcing his gig in Lithuania on Tuesday had been pulled.
Taking to Instagram, his team informed his followers the star had "fallen ill" and will no longer be able to perform, though they didn't provide further any details over his health. In the statement released on social media, the singer's team said: "Show cancellation today.
"We're deeply sorry to let you know that today's concert in Kaunas has been cancelled as Rag'n'Bone Man has unfortunately fallen ill."
Now, from a hospital bed in Kaunas, the singer has shared an update. He uploaded a number of images of him topless in hospital. Connected to wires, he issued a thumbs down in the second shot.
He captioned his post: "Being stuck in hospital in Lithuania was not on my list of shit to do before you die! Anyone watching anything good?
"I've got lots of time to kill. Sorry to anyone that had tickets to my shows Trust me I'd rather be on stage!"
Fans were quick to send get well messages in the comments section of his post. Among them was DJ Premier who wrote: "Get strong and back on stage to enjoy what you're here to do and love RORY. You'll bounce back."
Ellis Genge also penned: "Must have some big hospital beds over there bruv, get well soon mate," while Alison Hammond was among the star's followers to have clicked the like button on the post.
The update comes after his team said the star had been "seeking medical care". They acknowledged that some fans would have already made plans, including around travel, ahead of the gig and added: "We know many of you were looking forward to the show and may have travelled or made special plans, we truly appreciate your understanding at this time."
The statement, signed by his team, ended by saying: "Rory will be so upset to have to cancel this show and we'll be working hard to scheduled a show in Lithuania soon. For ticket refunds, please contact your ticket distributor/the point of ticket sale from which you purchased."
Following an event last week, which he later described as an "insane night," the star took to the stage at the Positivus Festival in Latvia. He performed as the final act on the main stage of the festival in Riga on Saturday night.
Following the show, he posted a clip from the set on social media. He captioned the upload: "Good to see you Latvia. [Positivus] thank you so much for having me."
