British singer Morrissey has been rushed to hospital after collapsing on stage with breathing problems, emergency services said.
The 50-year-old former frontman of 1980s pop band The Smiths fell ill while performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, south-west England on Saturday (local time).
"Just after 9:00pm we got a call to a 50-year-old man who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious," said a spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service.
"We sent a paramedic in a doubled-crewed ambulance.
"When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all.
"They made an initial assessment and took him to the Great Western Hospital [in Swindon] for further assessment."
His condition was not thought to be life threatening, she added.
"Morrissey was brought in to the accident and emergency department," said a Great Western Hospital spokeswoman.
"He has been seen by the medical team. At this stage his condition is stable."
Morrissey is touring Europe and North America after releasing his ninth solo album, Years of Refusal, in February.
