Sting's Daughter Hospitalized After Skull Fracture

Coco Sumner, the 18-year-old daughter of rock legend Sting, is recovering in intensive care after collapsing in an L.A. restaurant and fracturing her skull last week. After telling friends that she wasn't feeling well, Sumner tried standing up, but instead fell to the floor and knocked her head against a chair on the way down.

Father Sting and Sumner's mother, Trudie Styler, both rushed to L.A. to be by their daughter's side. A source told the UK Daily Mail that Sumner wasn't drinking when the incident occurred. Sumner's been recording her debut album for Island Records, and she still intends to finish the album after making a speedy recovery.

Dang, such rude people there are here. IF that were my child I would be by her side on my knees praying she would be alright. Even if you don't know her and she has a famous Father doens't mean she doesn't deserve a prayer. She is still loved by her family and they are still worried about her.

It sounds to me like Coco Sumner might have vasovagal syncope. I was diagnosed with it when I was 18. It's actually a fairly common disease that affects the blood flow to your brain and causes you to feel faint and pass out after standing or sitting in the same position for an extended amount of time, etc. It's usually not too dangerous, unless you fall onto something in the process of fainting, and unfortunately, it sounds like Coco did just that. I hope she recovers quickly and can get back to her album soon.

ARGHHHHHHHHH could you please learn proper grammar? I HATE reading ignorant drivel that runs on and on and on because some teenybopper doesn't know when and where to put a period to end a sentence!

The only thing more ignorant than what is being written.......is the people writing it!

What do you even know about how she was raised?? Sting and Trudie have always been exremely involved in her life. They have always talked about how awesome it is to be parents, etc.....do you think she was raised wrong just because her dad is a famous musician? Do a little research---you must be thinking of Tommy Lee and HIS kids or something, IDK.

To sugahnans: You're what's wrong with the whole country lately...as long as it isn't happening to you, the hell with everybody else. And I should know; I deal with people on a daily basis and I've reached a point where I no longer expect anyone to have even as much as common courtesy, never mind expect them to step up and do the right thing. Too many sugahnans out there!

Hello Brittany

i swear can we with hold our rude comments...yes we dont here over other people who get hurt the same way that are not famous, but that shouldn;g give you the right to say such evil and ignorant things. A skull fracture is a very serious injury and the fact that she collapsed before could mean something even more serious. Have some sympathy people. I wouldn't think you would enjoy hearing such things about someone in your family or a friend if they were in the same situation.
