Hanson Boy Taken Ill In US

The eldest member of the pop group Hanson is in hospital.

26-year-old Isaac was admitted after complaining of chest and shoulder pain following a performance at the House Of Blues in Dallas on Tuesday night.

He’s been described as in a stable condition.

A local TV station’s claiming Isaac’s been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism – that happens when a blood clot in the extremities breaks away and travels to the lungs.

Isaac 's brother, Taylor, told the television station: "We appreciate thoughts and prayers that have been out there for him."

"We want the tour to go on, so you know we are working steadfastly to see how long he's going to need to rest."

Hanson are still probably best known for the 1997 hit, MmmBop.
