London | Singer Marc Almond, whose 1980s band, Soft Cell, scored a huge hit with its version of "Tainted Love," was hospitalized with severe head injuries after a road crash, police said.
Almond, 47, was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle when it collided with a car Sunday afternoon in central London, a spokesman for the City of London Police said.
He was thrown from the bike and suffered severe head injuries, the spokesman said. The spokesman said Almond's condition remained critical Monday morning. It was unclear whether he had been wearing a helmet.
The singer was in stable condition at the Royal London Hospital in the east of the capital, the hospital's governing body said in a statement Monday.
The motorcycle's driver, who hasn't been identified, also was injured seriously, police said.
