The former frontman of rock band Lostprophets has reportedly been stabbed in prison.
Ian Watkins is serving 29 years for child sex offences.
A source told the Mirror he had been taken hostage by three other inmates on Saturday morning.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "Police are investigating an incident which took place on Saturday at HMP Wakefield.
"We are unable to comment further while the police investigate."
Watkins was jailed for 29 years in December 2013 with a further six years on licence.
The disgraced singer was arrested following the execution of a drugs warrant at his Pontypridd home on September 21 2012 when a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized.
Analysis of the equipment uncovered Watkins' depraved behaviour.
