Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry was admitted to hospital last night, April 6, after pulling out of an Olympic 2012 event because he felt unwell. 

Sky News reports that the 65-year-old star was due to attend an event at London's O2 Arena yesterday, but decided to call doctors after feeling concerned for his health. A spokesman for Ferry explained:

"He was having tests as a precautionary measure, having felt unwell recently".

The NME has also quoted the spokesman as adding:

"Bryan has been feeling rough for some time and he felt even worse today. So, he thought it was best for the doctors to look into it. We’re all obviously very concerned for him."

No further information has been given at this time, but he is due to begin an extensive four-month solo tour of Europe on April 19. Watch behind the scenes footage from his recent photo shoot with Playboy, which will feature in this month's issue, here:
