US rockstar Kid Rock was taken to hospital shortly before his scheduled appearance at the Download festival in the UK.
The singer's poor health forced him to cancel his performance minutes before going on stage. His spokesman told NME magazine that he had been suffering from cramps and dehydration thus requiring treatment.
The former husband of Pamela Anderson is currently promoting his new single All Summer Long in the UK. During an interview with the Guardian the Cowboy star revealed how he was coping with the headlines of the previous year.
Asked about the fight between him and Anderson's first spouse Tommy Lee at the MTV video music awards, he told the paper that there was no longer any animosity between the two.
"We're friends. We don't talk all the time but everything's good," he said.
The rocker also spoke about his rocky relationship with the Baywatch star, saying that he was afraid that the tabloid coverage would overshadow his music career.
Kid Rock added that he was not a fan of the party circuit, which his former wife is frequently photographed on, and stated that he would rather use his talents to make good music than be a "tabloid freak".

Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times
calls the new Adam Sandler comedy You Don't Mess With the Zohan
"shameless in its eagerness to extract laughs from every possible breach of
taste or decorum." Nevertheless, Ebert suggests, Sandler succeeds in doing just
that. "This is a mighty hymn of and to vulgarity, and either you enjoy it, or
you don't. I found myself enjoying it a surprising amount of the time, even
though I was thoroughly ashamed of myself." A.O. Scott in the New York Times
also agrees that "a lot of the crude bodily-function jokes are actually
pretty funny." Rafer Guzmán's take on the film in Newsday:
"Crude, idiotic, ridiculous - in other words, flat-out hilarious, and Sandler's
funniest film in years." But Mark Olsen in the Los Angeles Times
suggests that such an assessment is far too generous. "If this was to be
unapologetically funny, likable in an un-ironic, non-guilty-pleasure way," he
writes, "You Don't Mess With the Zohan falls short. As a cutting comedic
satire about the Arab-Israeli conflict and stereotypes, it misses more than it
hits. As another run-of-the-mill Sandler movie, it is better than most." And
Carrie Rickey in the Philadelphia Inquirer assesses it this way: "An
amiable mess."
