As many of you are already aware, Michael Bowes was taken ill at the end of last night’s Lost 80’s Live show.
Michael was treated on the spot and taken to hospital, where he is conscious and communicating normally. He will remain there for tests, and the rest of the band will be continuing on for the rest of the tour as planned.
We will post further information in due course, but would ask that people don’t speculate online. Your good wishes are already gratefully received. Get well soon Michael x
