Former X Factor star Scott Bruton was rushed to the hospital “drifting in and out of consciousness” after being knocked unconscious as he performed in a musical.
The 20-year-old singer was appearing in Dreamboats And Petticoats at the Malvern Theatre in Malvern, Worcestershire when scenery fell from behind him and hit his head.
Bruton was assisted by co-stars and first-aiders while they waited for an ambulance to arrive. Following a delay, the production continued with an understudy replacing Bruton in the lead role of Bobby.
An observer told The Daily Telegraph: “It looked pretty painful the way he hit the stage like a sack of potatoes. We were all on the edge of our seats hoping that the accident wasn’t too serious. The show was brilliant so it’s such a shame that it had to be delayed while Scott was treated.”
