Spandau Ballet icon and acting legend Martin Kemp faced a terrifying health crisis that saw him urgently admitted to hospital for emergency surgery, his son has disclosed in a shocking revelation.
The 62-year-old musician and actor, best known for his role in EastEnders and 80s pop stardom, was struck down by severe headaches that prompted the dramatic hospital dash.
The Shocking Revelation
Martin's son, Roman Kemp, opened up about his father's health scare during a candid conversation on their joint podcast, FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp. The Capital FM presenter revealed the seriousness of the situation, explaining that his father required immediate surgical intervention.
"He had to go into hospital and get surgery for it," Roman stated, highlighting the urgency of the medical situation that left family members deeply concerned.
From Pop Stardom to Health Battles
This isn't the first time Martin Kemp has faced significant health challenges. The entertainment veteran previously battled two brain tumours in the early 1990s, undergoing life-saving surgery and radiotherapy treatment.
His past medical history made this recent health scare particularly alarming for both the star and his loved ones, given the potentially serious implications of neurological symptoms.
Family Support System
Throughout the ordeal, Martin received unwavering support from his family, including wife Shirlie Holliman and their children Roman and Harlequin. The Kemp family has always been open about their close bonds and willingness to support each other through difficult times.
The health scare comes as Martin continues to maintain an active career in entertainment, recently appearing on television shows and maintaining his status as one of Britain's most beloved 80s icons.
Road to Recovery
While details about his current condition remain private, the revelation has sparked concern among fans worldwide who have followed Martin's career from Spandau Ballet's heyday to his successful acting career and recent television appearances.
The news serves as a reminder of the fragility of health, even for beloved celebrities who appear to be living charmed lives in the public eye.
