Three songs later Cester collapsed for a second time and was then taken from the stage and rushed to hospital. Jet's 3rd album Shaka Rock will be released on 25th August.

Rock band Aerosmith have called off the remainder of their summer tour in the wake of singer Steven Tyler's on-stage accident last week.
