IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Singer and guitarist Jim James of the Kentucky-based Southern-rock group My Morning Jacket has been released from the hospital after being injured in a fall during a concert at the University of Iowa.

A Cedar Rapids newspaper reported James slipped and fell about 30 minutes into the show Tuesday night. The Gazette says he apparently hit his head in the fall, which happened between songs.

The rest of the concert was canceled.

James was taken to University Hosptials. Hospital spokesman Tom Moore said Wednesday that James, who's real name is James Olliges Jr., was treated and released.
