MorrisseyMorrissey has been released from hospital.

The 50-year-old collapsed on stage in Swindon, England, on Saturday night just one song into his concert. Although The Smiths’ former frontman - who reportedly experienced with chest pains and breathing difficulties - is said to be “much improved,” he is not yet fit to resume his tour.

A spokesperson for the star said: “Tonight’s show at Bournemouth Opera House will not take place on medical advice. Morrissey has now been released from hospital and is under doctors’ instruction to rest. Event organizers apologize for this unavoidable situation.”

“Morrissey is in stable condition after his collapse in Swindon on Saturday night. Thanks go out to all his well wishers, more information will be posted as soon as it is available,” a statement on the singer’s official website added.

However, British TV presenter Jonathan Ross claims he spoke to the hitmaker’s personal assistant and believes the singer - whose full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey - will resume his tour at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday.

“He is resting and hoping to finish these dates,” Ross wrote on his Twitter account. “At the moment he’s hoping to be fit to do London on Tuesday so should definitely be able to do Leeds I think.”

Morrissey has already canceled several dates this year because of an undisclosed illness.
