Tiësto Knocks Himself Out While Walking To DJ Booth

Superstar trance DJ rushed to hospital

More Tiesto Tiesto

He might be one of the world's biggest DJs but Tiësto is just as prone to injury as the rest of us.

The trance superstar was forced to cancel a gig in San Diego last weekend after knocking himself out on a giant screen.

According to The Guardian, Tiësto was on his way to the DJ booth at Electric Bounce House when in low lights – presumably to build the mood – he hit his head on a giant screen and passed out beside the decks.

Paramedics on the scene sent him to hospital. He was diagnosed with concussion.

The show, and others last weekend, were inevitably cancelled on doctors' and management's orders.
