Brit Soul singer suffered what sounds like a pretty major stroke a few months back. Only 39.

Good to him with his rehab, know your stroke signs and symptoms people - think FAST -

F - face, any facial droop? Ask the person to smile and look for any unevenness.

A- arms - ask the person to raise their arms above their head - is there any difference in the heights they can raise heir arms, any drift or drop?

S- speech - can they speak clearly? Can you understand what they're saying? Get them to say a simple sentence for you

T- Time! We can healthcare that 'time is brain' if you suspect a stroke get help NOW - straight onto 999 no messing and make your sure you tell the operator that you're worried about a stroke.

Saw him play a music festival in Latvia back in 2013. I’d heard ‘home again’ so wanted to watch him and have been a fan since.

Very talented.

Listened to the Love and Hate album on Saturday evening for the first time in ages and was reminded how good it is.

Will keep an eye out for Fudge.

Was really shocked to read this yesterday.
I'm a big fan, though I found his last LP Small Changes a little heavy going and rarely find myself in the mood to listen to it.
Looking forward to hearing tracks from Fudge.
I've seen him live and he and his band ate great performers, especially the lead guitarist and backing vocalists.
Hopefully his head is in a good place to take the time he needs to recuperate.

Thats pretty shocking to hear.

His Love and Hate album is a masterpiece. Seen him live a couple of times, and him and his band are incredible performers.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.
