Andrew Lloyd Webber rushed to hospital

Andrew Lloyd Webber has been readmitted to hospital after suffering a setback in his battle against prostate cancer.

The 61-year-old, Composer, revealed he had been diagnosed with the early stages of the illness last month, for which he underwent surgery.

A statement on his website read: “He has been advised that while the operation was entirely successful, he has developed a post-operative ‘chronic infection’ which needs immediate treatment.”

The theatrical impresario is currently working on Love Never Dies, a sequel to his acclaimed production – The Phantom of the Opera, due to begin in early January 2010.

We wish him a speedy recovery.
