    Dance star Michael Flatley is reported to be seriously ill in a London hospital tonight.

    The details of his condition are not known but it is believed he was admitted to a private hospital some days ago after being taken ill while rehearsing for his forthcoming Celtic Tiger European tour.

    All dates for that tour, including two in Dublin for early December, have now been cancelled.

    A spokeswoman tonight said the star was unavailable for comment and appealed for the media and his fans to respect his privacy.

    Didn't hear anything else about this.

    Flatley in hospital, tour dates cancelled

    Dance star Michael Flatley is reported to be seriously ill in a London hospital tonight. The details of his condition are not known.

    It's not yet been confirmed, but reports suggest that in the middle of a performance, while attempting a high kick, one of his legs seperated from his body, landing on the lap of a lucky audience member.

    London police are currently trying to track down a middle-aged woman, with auburn hair, wearing a flowery dress, wanted in relation to the theft of the limb.

    All dates for that tour, including two in Dublin for early December, have now been cancelled.

    A spokeswoman tonight said the star was unavailable for comment and appealed for the media and his fans to respect his privacy.

    Visited his Wiki as sometimes fans post updates the quickest. But obviously people are using this event as an excuse to make up bizarre crap about his condition. The editors can't keep up. :rolleyes:

    I think he was being treated for an expanded head,life-threatening arrogance and an inflamed wallet.

    London police are currently trying to track down a middle-aged woman, with auburn hair, wearing a flowery dress, wanted in relation to the theft of the limb.

    Whether thats real or not, that's just comedic gold.
    RIVERDANCE star Michael Flatley is battling a serious viral illness, it was revealed last night.

    The 48-year-old Americanborn dancer was rushed to a London hospital. His worried wife Niamh, whom he married only a month ago, was by his bedside.

    Flatley has cancelled the entire European leg of his latest Celtic Tiger tour.

    A source said: "He has an allover infection, which has been attacking every part of his body.

    "He has been in hospital for a few days after complaining of feeling weak at home in London.

    "His condition deteriorated and he was rushed to hospital. It looks like he won't be able to dance for another three months."

    Niamh is four months pregnant with their child.

    A close friend revealed last night: "This is really serious, Michael is in a bad way.

    "We are talking about a guy who lives for being on stage. He would not cancel a tour unless it was something very serious."

    The couple maried at a lavish ceremony in Fermoy, County Cork, on October 14.

    But Flatley didn't go on honeymoon - he was rehearsing for his Celtic Tiger tour.

    A family friend of Niamh said: "She has been completely knocked for six by this. Michael got very ill over the last few days and had trouble breathing."

    This April, Flatley spoke out about his facial skin cancer - but insisted he had been completely cured.

    * blows cobwebs off this one *

    He slipped while tap dancing, and fell down the sink.

    So! Do! A! Helluva! Lot! Of! Irish! Women!

    Which would put Lord Castlehyde of Outer Fermoy in pretty good company.

    By the by, am I the first one to say, "Get Well Soon"?

    What's wrong with him? Not enough, clearly.

    Sweet finally got him -

    ~~~~~Then that energy starts to come on way too strong.~~~~~

    ~~~~~Plus some customers just start combusting.~~~~~
    ~~~~~That’s the penalty when life is but a song."~~~~~

    hmm, fit as a fiddle for years yet 4 months after he gets married he's seriously ill in hospital??? treachery is afoot methinks! :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭kevmy


    Ah now I'd like to see him get better.
    Ireland just wouldn't be the same wothout him. Sure he's a bit of a ponce but when he does something he does it with class. The house for example, no half measures there, then he marries your one and knocks her up straight away.

    youhave to laugh how all the papers are shouting about it but none of them have a clue whats actually wrong. 'Viral' sounds dodgy its tactfully press speak for 'we havent a breeze' or ' took some dodgy drugs'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,794 ✭✭✭chillywilly


    i think its funny that everyone takes the piss out of him now because there is no news of him dying....but when he dies this thread will be praising him!

    your nobody until your dead, sad but true.


    i wanna be a zombie, best of both worlds


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Let's hope his zombified leg doesn't come back.
