Unsurprisingly, OMD have cancelled the remainder of their North American tour (three dates).
Andy, on the OMD forum:
[i]"Malcolm is going to be OK.. he had to go to hospital. Martin went with him to keep us posted. But At this moment I have heard that he is doing OK but needs to be checked over.
I cannot say any more at this time.
However, all the remaining USA concerts.. Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago are going to have to be cancelled.
We are sorry but Malcolm is too important and we cannot put his health in further jeopardy..
There will be further updates.

Great shame. You hate to see the planning and effort and enthusiasm go to waste. The band was probably sounding better than they did in 2011, too.
