The Kills Vocalist Taken To Hospital

Alison Mosshart - vocalist for The Kills - was forced to cancel a show this week on the band's US tour, due to illness.

The singer was taken to hospital, where it emerged she was suffering from altitude sickness, combined with a cold.

The sickness meant a gig in Boulder, Colorado on April 22 was pulled. But the rest of the North American tour is to continue as normal, now she's been given the all-clear by medical staff.

In other news, Mosshart has been working with Jack White on the band The Dead Weather.
