Sir Ian McKellen will miss the remainder of his dates in London play Player Kings to recover from a fall.
Earlier this week, the Lord of the Rings star was hospitalised after falling off stage during a performance of Player Kings at a theatre in London.
The 85-year-old actor was in a fight scene when he slipped and fell from the stage of the Noël Coward theatre. He cried out in pain as staff rushed to help.
The show was promptly canceled and the audience was asked to leave but the veteran performer is expected to appear in Wednesday’s matinee after the Tuesday performance was called off.
