Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood

Roisin Murphy has had eye-socket surgery after banging her head on a chair during a Moscow gig.

Spokespeople attest to how yukky the accident was:

A spokesman said she lost "a lot of blood" and had severe concussion, but her vision was unaffected and she was "recovering well".

As a result of the need to rest - presumably to stop her eyeball falling out onstage - this week's dates on her European tour are being re-arranged.
