Talking to fans about his recent ordeal the singer said: “I am so sorry I look like a bag of s*** this morning but I wanted to send you a message to let you know what is going on.”

“For some of you who came to my Newmarket gig on Friday, thank you for your kind messages of support and just checking it was OK.
“It has been a mad 72 hours since the gig getting to this point.
“Basically after my second song, a fragment of bone that was in my knee managed, after I jumped, to lodge itself on the back of my knee which basically shut my leg down.
He also went on to say that he wanted to get the surgery done before his upcoming gigs in Newbury and Singleton Park.

The Voice judge continued: “During the gig I was just limping the whole time. Couldn’t believe it. Basically, I am in, I have had the surgery. I wanted to get this done because of the Newbury gig on the 14th and Singleton Park on the 15th.
“I wanted to do this for you guys. It will be a different gig, I probably won’t be running around like I normally do.
“There might be a stool for me to sit down on. But I cannot cancel these gigs for you guys. It was such an amazing vibe on Friday at Newmarket so I will give it absolutely everything next week.
“It’s been a mad 72 hours. I honestly thought the worst, I thought I might have done my knee again.
