Star ‘fell out
of car trying to close door’

The star was airlifted to hospital with a head injury following the accident on Thursday, although his publicist passed his injuries off as “superficial cuts and bruises”.

But another driver who was behind the 49-year-old singer’s vehicle has said she saw him lying on the road smeared with blood.

Katherine Fox, 23, said he was wearing a ripped tracksuit and his trainers had come off when she stopped her Mini to prevent other cars from hitting him.

Fox said she had been told the star had tried to adjust his door because it was not properly closed and had fallen out.

Describing his appearance she told the paper: “There was a nasty cut on his forehead and the back of his head. There was blood all down his face and on his teeth.

“He was breathing and conscious but in shock.”

The singer was close to death only 18 months ago after being struck down with pneumonia in Vienna.

The star is notorious for his difficult relationship with cars. He was jailed for crashing his Range Rover into a shop in north London and has previous convictions for driving mishaps.
