Professor Green has been forced to cancel his Glasgow tour date after fracturing his neck.
The Read All About it rapper, known off stage as Stephen Manderson, was due to perform at King Tut’s on Thursday as part of his UK tour.
But the 35-year-old took to social media on Tuesday to inform fans that he would not be able to make the string of shows after suffering from a seizure and a resulting fall.

“I’ll be back in the winter with a bigger tour. I’ve had two further seizures and am lucky I didn’t break my neck. Thanks for baring with me.
"Most importantly thank you to our NHS.”
The musician previously suffered a health scare following a hernia operation in 2017.
Manderson suffered an extremely rare allergic reaction to the mesh used to fix the hernia and was readmitted with pneumonia, a partially collapsed lung, distension, fluid build up and ileus.
A statement from Professor Green’s spokesperson said: “Due to a serious neck injury Professor Green has been forced to cancel his February 2019 tour. Tickets for all dates are refundable. Refunds will be made available at the point of purchase.”
