Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie was rushed to a Swiss hospital last night after falling off stage mid-show.
The iconic Glaswegian frontman was performing at Caribana Festival, in Crans-près-Céligny, Switzerland, when he slipped from the speaker stack and fell seven-foot into the crowd just 40 minutes into their set.
According to NME, the singer was stretchered away from the festival to hospital forcing the band to abandon their show.
