MORRISSEY has collapsed on stage just one song into his set at the Oasis.
The former Smiths frontman was taken to Great Western Hospital at around 9pm after performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.
The 50-year-old performed This Charming Man before falling to the floor and was then carried off by technical crew. He was said to be unconcious.
Two band members rushed to his side and dragged him offstage.
He was immediately followed by his backing band and singers and the stage lights went up, to whistles and boos from the audience.
The concert was cancelled and thousands of fans ejected from the venue.
