THE CHARLATANS drummer Jon Brookes has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
The percussionist was rushed to hospital last week (15th September) after collapsing during a concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The band scrapped the rest of its U.S. tour and the musician returned to back to the U.K.. A statement from the group has now confirmed Brookes is suffering from brain cancer and they have thanked fans for their support as the star continues treatment.
The message reads:
"The band and Jon would like to thank all well wishers for their kind messages of support."
As a result, the band also revealed they will be hiring a "short-term replacement" while Brookes battles the brain tumour.
Hope Jon manages to beat this awful illness!
