Il Divo star Carlos Marín has been placed in an induced coma after being admitted to hospital, according to reports.
The Spanish singer, 53, is reportedly under strict observation after entering the intensive care unit at the Manchester Royal Hospital.
The singer has had his ‘oxygen compromised’ and has been intubated while in an induced coma, according to Spanish newspaper El Español. No other details about his illness have been released.
It comes just days after Il Divo announced they’d postponed their remaining UK tour dates until 2022 due to ‘illness,’ though the group did not reveal any further details at the time.

Carlos was intubated after entering the hospital and while his organs are stable he remains in a serious condition, it was reported.
Carlos’ last Instagram post was shared on December 6, when he appeared in a promotional image alongside his bandmates David Miller, Sébastien Izambard, Urs Bühler to reveal two upcoming tour dates in Dallas and Florida and February 2022.
The publication also reports that Carlos was admitted to hospital just two days later on December 8.

Last month a 72-year-old woman from Barcelona was convicted of coercion and fined €60 for sending Carlos explicit and threatening letters.
According to The Olive Press, Marin’s lawyer filed an appeal against the sentence, noting he’d had to change his ‘work and life habits.’
