Mel B has had a very scary experience .
The Spice Girls singer underwent emergency surgery after suffering a fall at a friend’s home in London on Saturday night.
Over the weekend, Mel suffered severe injuries including a “severed right hand” and “two broken ribs”.
Taking to Instagram on Monday morning, the singer showed fans the depth of injury.
Wearing a purple sling, she wrote, “Thank you to all the wonderful nurses dr’s and my amazing surgeon for the care and expertise given to me here at the hospital I’ve been staying at.”
“Suffering 2 broken ribs a severed right hand needing emergancy [sic] care,to having had to have over a 3 hr surgery to repair the damage hence the purple sling,I’ve had to unfortunately cancel my book signing today in NY,I appolagise [sic] to each and everyone one of you who bought there tickets to meet me today.”
She then elaborated on the injuries, writing: “My right arm/hand is all stitched up and I’m trying to keep still to heal my broken ribs,ohh the pain,but I’m in super safe hands with the care of everyone here at the hospital!!!!!”
Her close friend Gary Madatyan confirms to PEOPLE that Brown, 43, was sleeping in the upstairs room of a friend’s house on Saturday night when she attempted to navigate a narrow staircase and ultimately slipped.
“She was upstairs and the room was dark,” he said. “Everyone knows one of her eyes does not see 100 percent.”
Her Spice Sisters (not including LA-based Victoria “Posh” Beckham) paid a visit to her bedside and posed for boomerangs.
No doubt a delightful preview to their upcoming 2019 reunion tour.
