“Thank you to our audience and the general public for their well wishes following Ian’s fall during this evening’s performance of Player Kings,” the statement read. “Following a scan, the brilliant NHS team have assured us that he will make a speedy and full recovery and Ian is in good spirits.”

Per the statement, the team behind “Player Kings” has decided to cancel Tuesday’s performance “so that Ian can rest.”
