It's a professional's worst fear to have their talent-enabling body parts harmed in some way. A champion runner is hampered by a shattered knee. An opera singer fears for their vocal chords. And an illustrator's worst nightmare is to break their writing hand. So it's sad news for singer, songwriter, and guitarist Ed Sheeran, who just confirmed he's suffered an injury that might affect his music-playing abilities. This morning, the 26-year-old singer made the most of an unusually balmy day in October and decided to cycle to his AM appointment. There he was, merrily trundling down the streets of London on his bicycle, when he was hit by a car, knocked off his bike and broke his arm. Luckily it was nothing more serious, but still – it was his arm. His right arm. The arm with which he plays his guitar. The poor guy confirmed the event on his Instagram: "Ive had a bit of a bicycle accident and I’m currently waiting on some medical advice, which may affect some of my upcoming shows. Please stay tuned for further news." [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BaTmE2lFLqy/]] Bless him, for cycling around town when he could easily be kicking back in a limo or a luxury helicopter. And bless him once more for calling it "a bit of a bicycle accident". It just comes at a bad time, when the Shape of You singer is right in the middle of his Divide tour. He said his upcoming shows might be affected by the injury, depending on doctor's orders. Sheeran is due to be touring around Asia in the next month, including shows in Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong, where he's scheduled to be playing around four shows per week. His next gig is scheduled for October 22, which is supposed to take place in Taipei. His last show for the year is set to be November 23 in Dubai, before he resumes his tour in Australia in March next year. Fans are flooding the post with "get well soon" wishes, as well as a lot of selfish concerns about whether he'll still make it to their shows, saying "I hope you still can come to Taiwan this week" and "Ummmmmm not HK right??". He's also receiving a lot of attention on Twitter.

The 47-year-old was run off the road by a car while riding his motorbike in LA, but it's believed he only suffered cuts and bruises. Poor Ed seems to have suffered far more, given the fact that it's his guitar-playing arm that copped the worst of the impact. Hopefully, he makes a speedy recovery and he'll be able to strum his guitar again soon. Maybe he should take up this Instagram fan's offer: "Bro...if you need somebody to play while you sing...I got you. Don't cancel the shows!!!"

Social media users are stunned after a TikTok star recounted a series of unfortunate events that included a broken jaw, a brain tumor, and a car crash.

Australian actress Alli McLaren - who goes by the handle @notallialicee - posted a video about the nightmarish event she experienced on the social media platform.

"I’m that friend that lives that ‘can’t catch a break dramatic lifestyle," the 30-year-old content creator sarcastically said in her viral TikTok post.

Alli's suffering first started when she was "randomly walking" in downtown Los Angeles one day and then a homeless person came and punched her in the face.

Watch Alli's TikTok below:

"I had to get jaw surgery to fix it and my immune system was super weak, I ended up getting infection and pneumonia," she continued.

But during her battle with pneumonia, she fell and banged her head, which triggered a traumatic brain injury so she had to get brain surgery to "get the tumor out".

However, the misery didn't stop there as the aspiring actress had "start radiation" shortly after her brain surgery because the doctors were unable to get all the noncancerous tumors out.

Allie then revealed that when she was on her way to her hospital treatment for her tumor, she "got ran over by a car" that failed to brake at a stop sign. According to the New York Post, the incident left her with two broken feet.

Upon seeing her video - which has amassed 1.6 million views and 267.7K likes on the social media platform - many people shared their reactions to her painful predicaments.

And, a fourth person praised: "The way I’d never get out of bed again. You are STRONG as hell."

Meanwhile, one bold person wrote: "Okay but the homeless guy kinda saved your life??" But Alli responded by sharing a video explaining why she doesn't feel thankful toward her attacker.

"I was punched, I got an x-ray and nothing was on it. Cool, I fell over and hit my head, and nothing was on it (the x-ray)," she said, explaining that when she started getting seizures that's what the tumor turned up in her scan.

"So maybe, he (the homeless person) helped me find it or maybe he helped cause it?" she questioned.

According to The Post, Alli has remained optimistic about the future and said: "I think I stay strong by knowing it can’t be like this forever and also knowing that one day I’m going to wake up and I won’t be in pain anymore."

"I do believe that everything happens for a reason," she added.

After Kevin Hart released a video explaining why he was in a wheelchair, the former NFL star who was there during the incident shared a clip of how it happened.

In case you missed it, the 44-year-old funnyman endured some rather unpleasant injuries while attempting feats that once came naturally during his youth.

In his social media address, Hart told his followers: "Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real. To all my men and women out there who are 40 years old and above, it's not a game.

"Respect that age, respect that age, or that age will make you respect it. I was just forced to respect it."

He added: "This is a public service announcement because I know people may see me out and I don't want you to be alarmed, but I'm in a wheelchair."

The incident unfurled when Hart, accompanied by former NFL star Stevan Ridley, engaged in an impromptu competition. A friendly dispute led the duo to decide upon a race, with Hart's confidence in his speed steering him to accept the challenge.

We can now see the race take place after Ridley uploaded the footage to his Instagram page, where he kindly shared three videos, one of which is a slow-motion shot of the moment Hart experienced the injury.

Despite some of the comments stating that it looks like Hart is running slow, it should be noted that he's alongside a former athlete and the actor is definitely running at full pelt.

Also, the fact that they had multiple races proves how competitive they both were.

Following the friendly competition, and from the comfort of his own home, Hart admitted: "Guys, I blew all of my s***. Tore my lower abdomen, my adductors, I tore them. I don't even know what that is, but I tore them. Tore those two. I can't walk, sit my a** down. This is 44.

"What are we competing for at this age, what am I doing? Why did I even race? Stupidest s***, and now I can't walk 'cause I'm somewhere trying to get the title of the fastest at the barbecue," he went on.

He wasn't alone in his pain, as some of his celebrity pals empathized with the star and left messages of encouragement.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson recounted his own brush with an adductor muscle tear during his wrestling days, assuring Hart that he would bounce back, all while still managing to take a jab at his friend/rival, speculating that Hart might "grow a 3rd ball" in the process.

Will Smith extended his empathy towards Hart's predicament, acknowledging the inevitability of aging. Meanwhile, Judd Apatow playfully speculated that Hart's choice of attire, a Gucci x Adidas collaboration, might have inadvertently hindered his performance: "Maybe the Gucci Adidas collab slowed you down."

We hope Hart is doing well - hopefully, he'll refrain from racing against athletes in the future.

Jeremy Renner is working his way up to a picture of perfect health following his traumatic snowplow accident earlier this year.

The 52-year-old actor - who is best known for his roles as Marvel superhero Hawkeye - was rushed to hospital on New Year's Day while attempting to stop his seven-ton snow plow from hitting his nephew, while the pair cleared the roads around his home in Nevada.

As reported by CNN, the sheriff's office stated: "When Renner attempted to stop or divert the Pistenbully (snowplow) to avoid injury to [his nephew], he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over. The Pistenbully rolled over him and continued down the road."

Fans were left concerned for the Hawkeye star as he was reported to be in a "critical but stable" condition following the accident on New Year's Day, with the actor later revealing that he had broken more than 30 bones in his body, had a collapsed lung, and had his liver punctured by a broken rib.

A few weeks following the accident, Renner took to his Instagram account to update his fans and followers on his condition. "Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years …. Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love [...]," he wrote.

"I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I …. Much love and appreciation to you all. These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens. Love and blessings to you all," Renner's caption concluded.

Renner has continued to make a miraculous recovery from his near-death incident, being papped by TMZ heading into Jimmy Kimmel's studio with the assistance of a cane.

The outlet also reported that the actor took his family to Six Flags on Good Friday (April 7), where he was spotted using a motorized scooter to get around the amusement park. The father-of-one has previously opened up about using an anti-gravity treadmill to strengthen his legs and get his muscles working normally again.

On Thursday (April 6), Renner's interview with Diane Sawyer was released, where he recounted the lead up to his traumatic accident. Several teaser clips were released in the weeks before the interview's release, where Renner told Sawyer he would do it all again to save his nephew, who would have been crushed by the snowplow if Renner had not jumped in front of him.

"I would do it again. It was coming right at my nephew. I would do it again," he said.

Jeremy Renner has shared an update from his hospital bed, where he reveals that he has broken "30 plus" bones.

As reported by Deadline, Renner was involved in an incident on January 1 involving his own snow plow that saw him get airlifted to the hospital.

A spokesperson for the 52-year-old actor revealed at the time that he was in a "stable but critical" condition, and further reports revealed further details of the incident.

It was reported that Renner was helping a stranded driver near his home that is located by Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe in Nevada, and he was heard crying out in pain when the 911 call was made to get the Marvel star urgent medical assistance.

A source close to the star revealed to Radar Online how serious the injuries were after he was run over by the snow plow: "The right side of Jeremy’s chest was crushed, and his upper torso had collapsed. He also had a bad head wound that was bleeding and a leg injury."

The source continued: "He knew he was in bad shape and that he might not make it out of this."

Thankfully, Renner appears to be on the road to recovery, and he has taken to Instagram to reveal the extent of his injuries while thanking fans for their support.

"Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years …. Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love," Renner began.

"I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I... Much love and appreciation to you all."

"These 30-plus broken bones will mend, grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens. Love and blessings to you all."

Renner also took to Instagram recently to thank the staff at Renown Regional Medical Center for helping him recover from the near-fatal incident. The star also spent his 52nd birthday in the ICU on January 7.

We wish Renner all the best on his road to recovery.
