The 39-year-old mother from Scotland is shocked – but grateful – that her 20-year-old son, Dylan Wood, is “relatively unharmed” by his horrific accident at the former bander’s concert in Glasgow, Scotland, on Saturday.
“I wish I had not watched the video,” Hawkins told the Sun about the footage captured by fans of the fall. “You get a picture in your mind of what it looked like, but to see it was terrible.”
Hawkins was in bed when she received the terrible phone call that Wood was injured and in the hospital.
“He is highly dependent (intensive) because of his head and they have to watch him. It has a concussion and has no fractures. “He has two black eyes, which I think is due to the fact that he may have hit his face, bleeding from his nose and that is it,” he said. “It hurts in the shoulder, but nothing is broken.”
She said it was touching to see her son on a respirator for a day to stabilize him, but it is an “absolute miracle” that Wood is doing much better now.

“We are all so relieved,” Hawkins said, adding that he was “very tired and upset” about the unusual – and disturbing – incident.
“I spent Dylan’s entire life going to the hospital only twice for his asthma, and then he turned 20 and broke his patella and needed a major operation,” his mother revealed.
“And he went to work and everything else,” he said of Wood, who is an electrical engineer. “It just goes on with it.”
Despite the lack of previous concerns about Wood’s health, Hawkins said he may have used his fortune left over from the incident.
“I think he has exhausted all his brands. “His whole life is exhausted now, and so is mine,” he said.
“He will not be allowed to do anything where he can get bruised or hit now.”
