John Barrowman has updated fans after a horror neck injury left him unable to move and he was forced to cancel dates of his tour.

The 52-year-old singer and actor had been scheduled to perform at the Bristol Hippodrome on Saturday night but was instead taken to hospital by husband Scott.

Today John underwent multiple intraspinal injections to help reduce the inflammation and after his mobility was severely impacted.

"Hi everyone, it's 2:30 in the morning and I've just had to wake up and take another pain killer and inflammatory," John told his Instagram followers.

The apprehensive star then told fans he'd shortly be heading to hospital to have the procedure on his vertabrae.

"Scott says I'm going to have some small needles... and some very big ones put into my neck so I'll let you know how it goes.

"I can't really move that much ...so that's it," added John.

He told fans in the caption to his post that after an MRI scan doctors found he was suffering from a C5/6 facet joint injury.

"Hopefully a series of intraspinal injections will reduce inflammation and get me back up & running again in time for Monday’s show in Manchester," John told worried fans.

On Saturday John was forced to pull the plug on his upcoming performances at the Bristol Hippodrome and the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow.

In a series of statements, the reality star shared his devastation with his fans across Twitter and Instagram.

The first statement read: "I'm devastated to have to tell you that due to severe neck injury, which has made it impossible for me to sing and move, I've been rushed to hospital for a diagnosis.

"The Doctors have advised me to not perform this weekend while I try and recover, so I've had to make the very difficult decision to cancel my performances at the Bristol Hippodrome on Saturday 30th November and at the SEC Armadillo, Glasgow, on Sunday 1st December.

"I am so disappointed and upset as I was looking forward to seeing you all, I feel I am letting everyone down, but it's simply not possible for me to do the show in my current condition."

John had been due to embark on a UK tour to celebrate the release of his album A Fabulous Christmas.

He will be keeping fans updated via social media if there will be any changes to the remaining dates.
