Singer Phil Collins cancels show after hotel room fall

LONDON

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

His management said in a statement that concerts Thursday and tonight at London’s Royal Albert Hall have been postponed until November.

The 66-year-old former Genesis star, who suffers from a gait abnormality after a back operation, tripped over a chair in the middle of the night.

He was given stitches for the cut on his head and will be kept under observation for 24 hours.

Collins is expected to continue his comeback tour in Cologne, Germany, on Sunday before performing at British Summer Time Hyde Park on June 30.

Iman remembers late husband David Bowie on 25th anniversary

NEW YORK

Supermodel Iman has paid tribute to late husband David Bowie on what would have been their 25th wedding anniversary.

Iman posted a photo of Bowie kissing her forehead on Twitter on Tuesday. The post included the words, “I would walk forever, just to be in your arms again.” She tweeted, “June 6th #BowieForever,” with the picture.

Bowie and Iman officially married in Switzerland in April 1992, but held a church ceremony in Italy on June 6 of that year. They had one daughter together, who’s now 16.

Bowie died last year at 69 after a battle with cancer.
