Filming himself from hospital with a gown on, Duncan shared a video with his 418K followers to explain the situation to fans.

He said: "Some of you may or may not know I had to go into hospital yesterday, I was admitted to have a correction of a procedure that I had two weeks ago that went a little bit wrong." "So I was rushed in and had it all fixed, I was kept in overnight and I'm just waiting to find out if I can go home today - fingers crossed. "However, it does mean I won't be able to attend the foodies festival today or the Hits Radio Live in Liverpool today which I'm gutted about because I really wanted to do that but the doctors have told me I need to rest up, I need to heal, I need to make sure everything is good where it should be good.

So I just want to say I'm sorry if I've let anyone down, I am on the mend, I am getting better." Continuing that he would keep fans updated on how he's feeling going forward, Duncan confirmed that his bandmates would still be taking to the stage as a trio.
