WILSON COLLAPSED DURING LONDON MARATHON
KAISER CHIEFS rocker RICKY WILSON failed to complete the London Marathon on Sunday (17Apr11) after collapsing close to the end of the race.
The musician entered the 26.4 mile (42.2 kilometre) marathon to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society charity, after his bandmate Nick Hodgson’s father was diagnosed with the disease.
Wilson collapsed just two miles (3.2 kilometres) before the finish line and was treated by a paramedic, forcing him to pull out of the remainder of the race, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
British pop star Will Young and model Agyness Deyn were among the stars who completed the gruelling run.
