He will require surgery on his injured arm and is expected to be out of action for a couple of weeks.

He had only just landed in New York after recording the latest Band Aid version of Do They Know It’s Christmas? in London.

Maybe he was a bit jet-lagged, maybe he was staring at the sun and the bike was out of control, but whatever the reason, we would like to wish him a speedy recovery.
