At the Q Awards, he said: "Apparently if I drink, it slows the healing down. So, I'm not drinking. I'll be back in a month or so though." He suffered the injury earlier this week after he was knocked down by a car. Recalling the incident, he said: "I got up and cycled home and then went to bed and woke up in the morning in a lot of pain and then went to hospital."
