LONDON (AFP) – British singer Morrissey was in a stable condition on Sunday, a hospital said, after collapsing on stage with breathing problems.

The 50-year-old former frontman of 1980s pop band The Smiths fell ill just one song into his concert Saturday at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, southwest England.

Morrissey's knees buckled and he slumped to the floor as he came to the end of opening song "This Charming Man", The Smiths' 1983 breakthrough hit, The Daily Telegraph newspaper's website said. He was then dragged offstage.

"Just after 9:00 pm we got a call to a 50-year-old man who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious," said a spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service.

"We sent a paramedic in a doubled-crewed ambulance.

"When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all. They made an initial assessment and took him to the Great Western Hospital (in Swindon) for further assessment."

His condition was not thought to be life threatening, she added.

Someone should have moved him to the path of an on-coming double-decker bus.

Seriously, this is scary. Only 50, no known issues with intoxicants or other addictive substances... Will be a rough few months, at least, for him.

& somehow, fellow straight-edger Ian Mac Kaye soldiers on. Moby too. & Michael Stipe. Fuckers.

I thought he drank pretty heavily. He made a stop here while touring two years back and hung out at one of my favorite bars with a tour manager and some local strippers.

I thought he was a self-declared abstainer from drugs and booze?

Two votes for being sober tells me I'm wrong.

he was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, sprinkled with Riddle Cologne.

I can think of about 50 more reasons why Morrissey is a douchebag. And I love him. And still think he is a douchebag.
