Thank you ever so much for everyone's kind messages here and privately for what has been a bit of a challenging month that was a bit unexpected.
A quick rundown on what happened , I woke up on a Saturday morning with the loss of sight in my right eye with a banger of a sore head as being a guy I thought nothing of it and thought itl come back next day , and if it wasn't for my amazing girlfriend Desiree Nelson getting me up to hospital right away things might have been diffrent.
At hospital they told me iv had a stroke behind right eye which has led to them finding out 2 of my heart valves (I only have 2 most people have 3) are fooked 1 was toataly burst the other was needing replaced , and fluid was build round my heart which led to a bad blood infection in my body which caused the stroke.
They rushed me through for operation to do what's needed and thankfully all seems to have went well apart from some of my sight in right eye.
I asked what would have happened if I never came into hospital they sayed id probably have dropped down with a heart attack. scary when I think of it .
My girl is my hero .
I have decided to take rest of year off with gigs just now and I will be back after the year .
The events I had been booked for have an amazing replacement in my good friend Mark Maclauchlan so please show the support for a legend he is and deserves.
I will try get back to everyone that's messaged me , but i thank everyone again
love you all

Following major heart surgery, Madman is now recovering and sadly won't be able to perform at this event. We'll be announcing a replacement shortly, and we wish him a speedy recovery and we look forward to having him back as soon as he's ready. ❤️
