Calvin Harris returns to London after car crash

Written by . Published: May 31 2016

DJ Calvin Harris has returned to his native U.K. as he continues to recover from a car accident in Beverly Hills, California.


The Scottish hitmaker was forced to pull out of two club gigs in Las Vegas last week (ends27May16) so he could continue to recover from the incident on 20 May (16), when the vehicle he was a passenger in collided with an oncoming car.


Taylor Swift's boyfriend has been keeping a low-profile ever since, but on Monday (30May16), Calvin returned to social media, revealing he had headed back to London.


He took to SnapChat to post a photo of himself sitting in the backseat of a car, and used a picture filter which tagged his location as the British capital.


Another similar post was captioned, "F**k this", although it was not clear what he was referring to.


Only half of his face was visible in the shots, prompting some fans to wonder if the other side displayed the minor injuries he had sustained in the Beverly Hills crash.


At the time of the accident, his representative revealed Calvin, real name Adam Wiles, had been hospitalized with a laceration on his nose, but he was treated and released hours later, with medics advising him to take a few days rest.


As a result, he had to cancel a residency gig at Sin City's Omnia club at late notice on 20 May, and axe his headlining set at the Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama on 21 May (16).


He had initially been scheduled to resume his Vegas work commitments at Hakkasan and Omnia on Thursday (26May16) and Friday (27May16), respectively, but he scrapped those shows too as he still wasn't well enough to perform.


Calvin, 32, subsequently apologized to fans via Twitter as he thanked them for their support.


"Thank you so much for your messages and sorry to (sic) any disappointment I caused with the show cancellations...," he wrote. "I'm feeling lucky and very grateful rn (right now)." He ended the post with three praying hands emojis.
