Singer Phil Collins was rushed to the hospital after he fell in his London hotel room, which left him with a gash near his eye that required stitches.

According to the Chicago Tribune, concerts Thursday and Friday at London’s Royal Albert Hall have been postponed till November. His management has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.

The 66-year-old singer suffers from a gait abnormality after a back operation; he tripped over a chair in the middle of the night.

According to the publication, the “You’ll Be in My Heart” singer will be kept under observation for 24 hours.

He is expected to continue his tour in Cologne, Germany, on Sunday and will then perform at British Summer Time Hyde Park on June 30.

Collins is perhaps best known as the drummer and lead singer in the rock band, Genesis. His most successful singles from both his time in Genesis and his solo career include “In the Air Tonight,” “One More Night,” “Sussudio,” Behind the Lines,” “Mama” and “Another Day in Paradise.”

His daughter, Lily Collins, is an actress who most recently starred in Warren Beatty’s “Rules Don’t Apply.” She also stars in “To the Bone,” an anorexia drama that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and Netflix’s “Okja.”
