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.
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.
