Matt Tong, drummer with Bloc Party has been rushed to hospital after suffering a collapsed lung.
The band - currently supporting Panic At The Disco! In the US – had just finished their set in Atlanta when Tong collapsed.
Doctors have confirmed that he is now in a comfortable condition and not in any immediate danger, but it is unclear when he will be able to pick up the sticks again.
A spokesperson for Bloc Party said: "Matt is known for his energetic drumming style. He got through last night's gig but collapsed when he came off stage. He will be in hospital for a few days, and it's not clear at this stage when he will be fit to resume performing."
