The View's Kyle Falconer 'Collapses During Gig'

April 1, 2009
The View's Kyle Falconer 'Collapses During Gig'The View’s Kyle Falconer collapsed during the band’s performance at the Snowbombing festival in Austria, it’s been reported.

The singer is said to have appeared “disoriented” from the start of the band’s set on Monday (March 30th).

Falconer initially claimed to have lost his voice, but eventually collapsed three songs into The View’s performance.

“Kyle looked disorientated and could hardly sing. He said he’d lost his voice then walked off stage,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

“Everyone booed and shortly after he came back and tried to play the guitar. But he struggled to even hold it.

“Kyle then collapsed and the rest of the band went off. It was a shambolic gig.”

TV presenter Tim Lovejoy, who is at the festival, also wrote about the incident on his Twitter fan page.

“Gig cancelled after 4 tunes Kyle fainted,” he wrote.

Earlier this year, Falconer was forced to apologise to fans in Nottingham after he turned up to the show so drunk he was unable to perform.
