I thought he looked unwell in the recent pics, and there seemed to be a large linear bruise on the top of his head.
It's not necessarily him that's got a life changing condition though, I know from experience that caring for a critically ill family member messes you up. Whenever my child (who was seriously poorly in the past) goes into hospital (again) I don't sleep, my thyroid levels go all over the place, my periods go constant and I get anaemic, fast. And I've been on BP medication and intermittent beta blockers for SVT for years.
Would I work if I didn't have to? Not a prayer. I'm not even FT now, partially because it works better having other children to care for, but partially because my own health wouldn't allow that after 17 years of the rollercoaster of "oh yes, we're fine" "No we're not, regional specialists here we come."
I don't want to come across depressing, we have had some lovely holidays and day trips over the years and a lot of laughs.
I'm just saying theres a hidden cost for carers who are waiting for it all to go wrong if you see what I mean.
If it's something like that for Peter Kay then I pat him on the back for cancelling the tour.
Whatever his personality may or not be in public. Some things are sacred and come first.
No matter who it is that is poorly, I wish him and his family well, with all the luck in the world.
