Keane frontman Tom Chaplin fell ill during the U.K. band's performance last Wednesday (October 31st) at a benefit concert for the War Child organization in Manchester, England.

Keane did manage to complete most of the show, despite stopping 15 minutes early as paramedics were called to treat Chaplin. A statement said, "War Child is an extremely important charity to (Chaplin) and Keane and in his own words...the show must go on!" (NME.com)
