Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler broke ribs and a collarbone in a motorcycle accident and will be unable to perform at a London concert later this month, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Publicist Judy Shaw of Mercury Records said Knopfler was knocked from his Honda bike when it collided with a Fiat Punto in central London on Monday morning.
A spokeswoman for St. Thomas’s hospital said Knopfler, 53, was treated for six broken ribs and a broken collarbone before being discharged Monday evening. The female driver of the Fiat was not injured.
