Great to see you back, Philip, see you 15th July, and Happy Birthday for Wednesday.

Good luck to Adam Yauch. Thinking of you.

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...

PS: Nottingham, December???

Not this time, alas. I think we're trying Sheffield this time.

Mods, if there is a thread and my compromised literacy skills have prevented me from seeing it, I apologise. But how's Philip's health? Hope he's doing well.

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.

I'll second that.

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.

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