Groundhogs Tony McPhee Suffers Stroke
24th June 2009
The Groundhogs’ Tony McPhee has had a stroke which has caused him to lose the ability to speak.
The band had been due to play a handful of shows in the UK and Europe later this summer, but these shows will obviously be affected.
A post on the band’s official website by his wife Joanna says:
“Tony McPhee had a stroke on 16th June 2009, he has lost the ability to speak, but is making progress towards recovery. This will affect some gigs which have been planned over the next couple of months so please contact venues for details.
“I am keeping fans informed via the newsletter, if you wish to receive this just contact me on joanna@thegroundhogs.co.uk, please use the same address to email Tony any well wishes, (he's got an iPhone & knows how to use it!).”
Get well soon, Tony. We hope to see you back on your feet and out on the road very soon.
