R&B singer NE-YO struggled to sing during a Valentine's Day (14Feb10) concert in London - he was silenced by a bout of hiccups.
The Miss Independent hitmaker was performing at the British capital's Wembley Arena on Sunday when his suffering became too much to handle.
He was forced to apologise to fans, before holding out his microphone for the audience to continue the song while he recovered.
Eighties pop star Sinitta, who was watching the show, took to her Twitter.com blog, writing, "Ne-Yo has had the hiccups for the whole show so far!!"
