John Barrowman has been rushed to the hospital with a severe neck injury as he is left unable to move.

The 52-year-old took to Instagram on Saturday to tell his followers how he was “devastated” by the injury, which “made it impossible for [him] to sing and move.”

“The Doctors have advised me to not perform this weekend while I try and recover, so I’ve had to make the very difficult decision to cancel my performances at the Bristol Hippodrome on Saturday 30th November and at the SEC Armadillo, Glasgow, on Sunday 1st December,” he said.

“I am so disappointed and upset as I was looking forward to seeing you all, I feel I am letting everyone down, but it’s simply not possible for me to do the show in my current condition. We have thankfully managed to open the Oxford New Theatre concert (Sat 14th December) for Bristol audience members to transfer to, and we have managed to move the Glasgow date to Tues 3rd December so I really hope you will be able to still see me have A Fabulous Christmas. All my love, John,” his first statement read.

He later told his followers how he was heading to the hospital for an MRI scan on his neck, but would make sure to keep everyone updated.
