Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes has bravely revealed the terrifying health crisis that brought him to the brink of death and forced the band to cancel their recent tour. The Sheffield-born rock star suffered what he described as a "complete immune system failure" that left him hospitalised and fighting for his health.
The 37-year-old musician took to social media to share harrowing details of his condition with concerned fans. "My body shut down completely," Sykes explained, describing how his immune system had catastrophically failed him.
The health scare emerged after the band abruptly cancelled their European tour last month, citing "medical reasons" that left fans speculating about the severity of the situation. Sykes has now confirmed the situation was far more serious than anyone had imagined.
"I was moments away from potentially never making it through," the rock star revealed, underscoring the life-threatening nature of his condition. The illness left him unable to perform or continue with the band's scheduled commitments.
Sykes expressed his devastation at having to cancel shows, acknowledging the disappointment it caused among the band's dedicated fanbase. "It breaks my heart to let people down," he shared, showing genuine remorse for the disrupted plans.
The musician also addressed the financial impact on fans who had invested in tickets and travel arrangements, demonstrating his awareness of the broader consequences of the cancellation.
Despite the severity of his condition, Sykes provided a hopeful update on his recovery progress. While he's not yet fully recovered, he assured fans that he's on the mend and looking forward to returning to the stage when his health permits.
The news has sparked an outpouring of support from the rock community and fans worldwide, with many sharing messages of encouragement for the frontman's complete recovery.
