Phil Collins has postponed two shows on his current "comeback" tour after suffering a fall.
The In the Air Tonight singer slipped over in his London hotel room when he woke up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and hit his head on a chair and he was subsequently rushed to hospital, where he was given stitches.

The former Genesis frontman, 66, had been paying a visit to the toilet at his London hotel following a show at the Royal Albert Hall when he tripped on a step and landed flat on his face.
The star announced his retirement in 2011 after nerve damage left him unable to play the drums, but later announced he was going back on tour.

While few expect that to happen, the words underline that the bank is not yet willing to call time on the stimulus program. Asset purchases under the programme are due to continue at least until December at a pace of 60 billion euros per month.
Collins had a back operation two years ago and has had to use a walking stick since. The singer appeared with a cane, forcing him to remain seated throughout the show.
A statement released on Phil's official Facebook page confirmed the news, adding that the singer has been forced to postpone his two upcoming shows in London, on Thursday and Friday.
Collins rescheduled the dates for November but plans to maintain the rest of his tour, playing next week in Cologne and then in Paris. Phil suffers from "drop foot' as a result of a back operation which makes it hard to walk", the Facebook post read.
"He will be kept under observation for 24 hours", the rep said, noting that Collins would continue his tour on Sunday. All tickets for June 8th will be valid for November 26th and tickets for June 9th will be valid for November 27th.
