Brother Beyond and Worlds Apart star Nathan Moore says he is 'unable to walk' after being hospitalised with an agonising nerve issue.
Moore needed urgent medical treatment following a live show in France, where he is currently touring with Worlds Apart, and has since returned to his home in the United Kingdom while he recovers.
The singer, 61, has since confirmed he's been left bedridden by the injury - just three days before he is scheduled to return to the stage with his bandmates.
'It’s a sciatic nerve issue, but it’s extreme, I woke this morning unable to even walk,' he told the Daily Mail. 'For someone so active on stage and in the middle of a European tour it’s killing me.
'I’m normally a supper positive and a very athletic 61 year old, but I feel Like I’m 85, I spent the night in a French hospital in Martigues on Saturday.
'I’m home now but the tour is meant to continue on Thursday - 22 shows to go! I’m just so upset.'

Moore initially found fame with Brother Beyond in the late 1980s, with the band enjoying a string of hits following the release of their debut album, Get Even, in 1988
In a post uploaded on Instagram over the weekend, Moore wrote: 'Please excuse me for dancing sitting on a chair in Martigues. Unfortunately after the show I spent the night in the hospital.
'I should be recovered for Montpellier, but I can’t dance. My apologies in advance. A big thank you to the entire medical team of Martigues, who were so kind.'
After being discharged, he added: 'My journey home was interesting. Thanks for all your understanding regarding my performances on stage, I’m really struggling and I’m not sure what I am going to do next week.'
Fans took to the comments to share their well wishes, with one posting: 'Take care Nathan, if you can't dance... it's great to be able to see you and listen to you sing';
A second added: 'Hey Nathan, get some rest. We're thinking of you. Stay strong and hang in there.'

While their initial singles didn't perform as well as the group would have liked - but the band took an unconventional approach when it came to upping their game.
When legendary music producer trio Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman - responsible for launching the careers of Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley - put their musical prowess on the block at a charity auction, the band bid for their help and won it.

As a result, their next batch of singles stormed the charts and their first album, Get Even, was released, peaking at number nine on the UK album chart.
But the decision to part ways with Stock, Aitken and Waterman - responsible for writing the band's biggest hit, The Harder I Try - led to a decline in popularity and they quietly disbanded in 1991, with Moore subsequently joining Worlds Apart.
Moderately successful in England, the five-piece climbed to number 29 in the UK chart with their debut single in 1993, a cover version of the Tavares hit, Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.
They also developed a huge fanbase in France, where they reached number one with their second album, Everybody, and continue touring to this day.
