Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebration, which marks the Queen's 60th year on the throne, is in full swing in England this week, with a concert headlined by Sirs Paul McCartney, Elton John and Tom Jones on the slate for Monday, June 4. But her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, will not be in attendance. He has been taken to the hospital.
The British Monarchy official Twitter writes, "The Duke of Edinburgh will not attend tonight's #DiamondJubilee concert ... He has been admitted to hospital as a precautionary measure after developing a bladder infection #diamondjubilee."
The two are pictured above on the Spirit of Chartwell during the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant that featured a 1000-boat flotilla over the weekend.
There have been reports that tonight's concert isn't exactly Queen Elizabeth's cup of tea, so we wonder if she will skip it. We can't imagine she would disappoint the artists...

Queen Elizabeth II has helped to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest parade of boats after leading a 1,000-strong fleet along London's River Thames as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The British monarch, 86, stepped onboard the the Spirit of Chartwell royal barge with her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, her son and heir Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and his children Princes William and Harry to greet more than one million revellers who braved the wind and rain and lined the Embankment eager to catch a glimpse of the royal party.
Prince Charles' wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge - wearing a red Alexander McQueen dress and matching hat - were also onboard as the barge sailed down the Thames, leading the majestic flotilla through the heart of the British capital.
Prince William's in-laws followed on a steamer boat as Catherine's siblings James and Pippa Middleton beamed and waved to fans along the journey.
The Diamond Jubilee Thames River Pageant was the largest public event in the four days of celebrations over the long weekend (02-05Jun) to mark The Queen's 60 years on the throne.
A star-studded outdoor concert is due to take place on the grounds of Buckingham Palace on Monday, with performances by the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John.

Wait till you see Victoria Parker onstage, shaking her booty in a short baby-blue dress. Just be aware that Victoria is really a guy named Victor Bowley (a k a Porkchop).
Victor/Victoria is one of the drag queens in the documentary "Pageant," which goes backstage at the 34th edition of the glitzy Miss Gay America contest in Memphis.
Fifty guys who like to look like gals are vying for the coveted title. To say they're flamboyant, in deed and dress, is kind of like saying George W. Bush was a lousy president - an understatement.
