Mike Skinner was hospitalised after a crowd-surfing incident.

The Streets frontman was injured earlier this week when he jumped into the crowd during a performance at the Cambridge Corn Exchange earlier this week and an over-zealous fan grabbed his belt and refused to let go, leaving the singer in agony.

Tonight someone held onto my belt so hard that my hernia scar from many years ago opened up to a bright red colour

Posting on his MySpace blog, Mike explained: "Tonight someone held onto my belt so hard that my hernia scar from many years ago opened up to a bright red colour.

"Looks like a wee organ might pop out of its purpley red bloody gash.

"Seriously never known pain like it and I broke both my arms when I was younger, hardly noticing it. Some kind of tendonitis, cramping and general bodily bashing."

After the show, a St. John's Ambulance attendant insisted paramedics be called to treat the 'Dry Your Eyes' hitmaker, and he was told to cut down on crowd-surfing and not let fans grab him so much.
