Pop legend Bryan Ferry was last night undergoing hospital tests after falling seriously ill.
Doctors were called for the star after he was taken ill in London, the Daily Mail has learned.
As a result, the 65-year-old – who splits his time between a townhouse in Chelsea, South West London, and a country house in West Sussex - was forced to cancel an appearance at an Olympics 2012 event last night.

There were initially fears that the Roxy Music lead singer had suffered a heart attack. However, a spokesman for the star insisted last night that was not the case.
A friend said: ‘Bryan has been rough for some time and he felt event worse today. So, he thought it was best for the doctors to look into it. We’re all obviously very concerned for him.’

ShareA spokesman for the star – who was renowned as the epitome of cool in his hey-day - confirmed the musician was undergoing tests. ‘He has been feeling unwell and is having tests,’ the spokesman added.
He said they were a precautionary measure.
The star has recently been on a gruelling world tour with his former band Roxy Music after they reunited. That finished in New Zealand last month.
En route back to Britain, he stopped in India to be a judge at an exclusive style and car show in New Delhi.

He was due to have a short break before beginning a gruelling four-and-a-half month long solo European tour, starting in Tel Aviv, on April 19.
Ferry is one of the most famous figures of the 1970s glam rock scene.
His hits with Roxy Music include Virginia Plain, Love Is The Drug, Angel Eyes and Jealous Guy.
The band’s albums Stranded, Flesh and Blood and Avalon were all chart-toppers.
He has also enjoyed solo success, most notably with the worldwide hit Let’s Stick Together.
The star famously dated Jerry Hall for two years before she left him for Mick Jagger in 1977.
He then married Lucy Helmore and they had four children together – including pro-hunt campaigner Otis.
They divorced in 2003 and he started dating Katie Turner, 35 years his junior.
The singer, though, is now in a relationship with Amanda Sheppard, who is 36 years younger than him.
She previously worked in public relations but quit in 2009 after Ferry offered to support her financially.
