Gorillaz are on tour with the Internet and Little Dragon following the release of their new album The Now Now. Last night, at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, they had to end their set after Del The Funky Homosapien fell off stage in the middle of his verse on "Clint Eastwood," the closing song.

Festival organizers shared a statement on the Roskilde Festival Facebook page. "He was seen on site by a doctor and went to the hospital for further investigation," its translation reads. "He's conscious and talking to his team." Del confirmed in a tweet, “I’m doing alright but will be in the hospital for a bit, the care here is outstanding though." Watch the incident below.

Thank you all for the love! I’m doing alright but will be in the hospital for a bit, the care here is outstanding though. Much love to @gorillaz for having me out and I’ll be back soon yall pic.twitter.com/p383Mc2Qh5
