POISONING SCARE FOR POP STAR

THE lead singer with rockers The View has been taken to hospital with blood poisoning while on tour in Japan.

Kyle Falconer, 19, contracted septicaemia from a blister on his foot.

One pal said: "He has been in and out of hospital and has been really ill with infections - particularly septicaemia.

"The medics kept him in overnight and he was given a course of antibiotics. But he has been warned to start looking after himself or he is going to end up very sick indeed."

The band are in Tokyo to promote their debut album, Hats Off To The Buskers, which went straight in at No1 in January.

Last night a spokesman for the band said: "Kyle should be back on his feet for their gigs next week."
