Earlier this month he suffered multiple seizures and spent three days in a coma after collapsing off the stage during a performance in New York.

And while August Alsina has been recovering at home in New Orleans since being released from the hospital earlier this week, he allegedly already feels ready to hit the road again.

According to TMZ, the 22-year-old is eager to start his upcoming North American tour opening for Usher beginning on November 1.

Reps for the No Love singer said doctors have ordered him to get lots of rest and despite the seizures triggered by the fall, he doesn't require medication, reported the website.

Prior to being released from the hospital, the accident left the R&B rising star in a coma for three days.

Shortly after regaining consciousness, he shared a snap laying in the hospital bed while hooked up to a machine and wearing a neck brace with the caption: 'I'm recovering well and thank you for all of your prayers & concerns.'

On September 15th, August was hospitalised and sent to the intensive care unit after passing out due to exhaustion and dehydration during a performance in New York.

In a video uploaded by an Instagram user, Alsina appeared to faint while on stage at Irving Plaza in Manhattan.

Witnesses said the star was unconscious when security guards moved him backstage after his fall.

Alsina's representative said doctors didn't find any drugs in his system with the exception of marijuana.

It was believed the fainting was brought on by exhaustion and dehydration.

Alsina in the video was seen standing near the front of the stage before suddenly slumping over and falling into the crowd.

Fans craned their heads to catch a glimpse of the commotion as security guards rushed to the scene.

Paramedics arrived at the venue and witnesses told TMZ that Alsina was carried out on a stretcher.

Alsina, who won this year's BET best new artist of the year award, just released a new music video for his remix No Love featuring Nicki Minaj.

Minaj, 31, ultimately manages to tame the beast and win over the singer.

By the end, Alsina can be seen nuzzling up to Nicki, as she displays her ample cleavage in a very low cut black top, looking very much in love.
