Its now been rumoured that he actually had a heart attack backstage and was rushed to the hospital for surgery. I guess its more serious than initially thought.
He had angioplasty done and he said he can't wait to get back to work!!! Poor dude. First he gets a lollipop in the eye and now this! By the way, he still looks really good!! I should have included him on the best aged rock star poll!

Official statement from David Bowie's press office:
DAVID BOWIE STATEMENT
British pop legend David Bowie underwent heart surgery in Germany last month prompting him to cancel his European tour. Bowie sought medical treatment after performing at a festival in the north-western German town of Scheesel (June 25) reportedly for a pinched nerve in his shoulder. It was discovered that the 57-year old rocker had an acutely blocked artery requiring emergency surgery (the procedure is known as an angioplasty).
Bowie, who was able to leave the clinic early this week, is now convalescing with his family and hopes to start work next month. Said Bowie, "I'm so pissed off because the last 10 months of this tour have been so fucking fantastic. Can't wait to be fully recovered and get back to work again. I tell you what, though, I won't be writing a song about this one."
