Take That star rests after tour injury
Take That’s Howard Donald is recovering from a chest injury that forced him to pull out of a performance, but it is still unclear when he will return to the stage, a spokesman said.
Donald was admitted to hospital after he was injured while performing during the band’s tour of Europe.
It meant he could not take part in a concert on October 26 in Vienna, but the show went on at his request.
The spokesman said Donald was discharged from hospital in Vienna on Saturday and was now resting with his family.
He said: “Everyone I’m sure will be pleased to hear that Howard is making a speedy recovery and the doctors are very happy with his progress.
“He will as a result be rejoining his band mates in Hamburg on Wednesday this week when the tour arrives there. Although it is still not clear when he will be back on stage performing with the other guys, the early indications are that it will be very soon.
“(Fellow bandmates) Mark, Gary and Jason all visited Howard after the show in Vienna on Friday night along with the dancers and musicians to help cheer him up. They’re all looking forward to him joining them this week in Germany.”
He did not give any more information about the seriousness of the injury or exactly how it happened.
