Excellent news.
Empty stumps... yeah, I remember that tape. I missed my calling : )
I don't even want to think about how long ago that was.
Listen, mind yourself
Stay well
Keep rockin'

Heard you had a bit of a rough time healthwise.
Hope you're okay now. These things are sent to try us, as my granny used to say.
I'm well out of the loop (been living in Spain for years now), so I tend to hear about things a few years after they happen...
Anyway, I just wanted to wish you a speedy recovery, and if you've already recovered - as you appear to have - that's great.
Keep it up : )
If you're ever over this way (I'm in Granada) give us a shout and I'll give you the VIP tour.
Take care,

Nice to hear from you Zak, I was wondering about you recently, as I often do when I hear a politician giving an empty stump speech or when I find myself on an etymological quest! Mercifully, I appear to be fully recovered from the health scare though there's still little hope for the rest of me.

Hello, just a few words for Mr. Chevron and everybody who has cancer, my father have been fighting against 3 different cancers for 25 years, (including this year an operation of a parotid cancer), it is very hard, first for the man and also for the family, but everything is possible, and cancer can be conquered, it is important not to fall down in the discouragement, sov friends and family support are very important to win the battle, and here you have many friends.

:wink: :wink: :wink:

Thanks. I'm sure I will still make the occasional aftershow but in principle, it suits me better to just go home! 8)

Nope. Still just this thread, which has served well through the ups and downs. Thank you for asking, I am feeling fit and well and am probably healthier than I was just before I got the cancer. It was a narrow escape and I won't easily forget that.

I found that the regime I followed when I was recovering from the chemo and managing about 50% of the gigs (to wit, arrive in the root city a day early at the start of a tour and do a fast exit "Elvis has left the building" each night after the show) suited me so well that I intend to stick to it for the future.


Good to hear this Phil. It was certainly nice to see you perform in Liverpool, even though I was not where I wanted to be.

It's a shame though that you'll be leaving the shows at the end and won't be going to any aftershows, because I know that a few of my friends who come on here would really like to meet you. and I consider myself really lucky to have met you when I did, although at the time I was unaware that you were ill.

Hope that you remain in good health for many, many years to come.

Philip,

It was really moving to see you back on Sunday evening. Thousands brought a lump to my throat.... and your dedication to the QMC and City staff was also very moving. What a brilliant moment. I heard you live in Nottingham now, why is that? did the mighty Notts County tempt you to reside full time...
