John Barrowman informed his fans about his injury through social media on Saturday.

The 52-year-old actor posted on his Instagram that he would have to cancel his future performances because he was not able to move. He wrote, “I’m devastated to have to tell you that due to a severe neck injury, which has made it impossible for me to sing & move.”

Also saying, “I’ve been rushed to hospital for a diagnosis. The Doctors have advised me to not perform this weekend while I try and recover, so I’ve had to make the very difficult decision to cancel my performances at the Bristol Hippodrome on Saturday 30th November and at the SEC Armadillo, Glasgow, on Sunday 1st December.”

Further adding, “I am so disappointed and upset as I was looking forward to seeing you all, I feel I am letting everyone down, but it’s simply not possible for me to do the show in my current condition. We have thankfully managed to open the Oxford New Theatre concert (Sat 14th December) for Bristol audience members to transfer to, and we have managed to move the Glasgow date to Tues 3rd December so I really hope you will be able to still see me have A Fabulous Christmas. All my love, John x.”
