The incident was confirmed via the Grammy winner’s social media accounts on 10 January. In a statement, Black Coffee’s team said: “The incident resulted in unforeseen complications and left him with some injuries.”
The statement added: “We can confirm that he is receiving the best possible medical attention and is surrounded by a supportive family and team. In respect of his privacy, we kindly request understanding and patience from the media and his fans. Despite the challenges presented, Black Coffee is optimistic and recovering well.
