Sir Ian McKellen has been forced to withdraw from the touring production of Player Kings, he has announced.
The actor, 85, fell off the stage while playing Sir John Falstaff in the play on June 18. He was hospitalised after landing on an audience member, who also needed treatment.
The legendary actor previously assured fans that he was recovering well, but has now said it’s with “the greatest reluctance” that he takes a step back from work to fully recover.
