All the best Philip. Here's to a full and speedy return to full health.

Thanks for being a BIG part of what goes on on this Forum.

Philip -- You are rock solid. Hang in there, Dude. You must return....or Shane will have Behan doing all sorts of nasty things up and down the street!

Read this bad news when I woke up this morning and couldn't think of anything to say, because last week two friends of my family passed away because of this horrible disease

Had this in mind all day but I'm sure that with that punkspirit, you'll get over it and will be singing 'Thousands' better than ever before!

Have a speedy recovery!

You're in my prayers Phil. Get well soon.

Get well, Mr. C, and I hope to see you doing your thing again soon.

To the band member who always performs above and beyond the call of duty... both onstage and off... my love and best wishes go out to you.
Get well soon x

I am sad to read this news but will be optimistic about your recovery. You are such a part of my and many Medusan's days. Your caring and generosity are a huge part of what keep us all coming back for more. I hope you will find time to keep us informed of your progress but will forgive any absences. We'll miss you in San Francisco this fall. Get well and we'll see you in 2008!

Best wishes,

Meg

Hope you get well soon Philip.

When I got up this morning I didn't want to go to work, but I forced myself as I'm no good to myself or anyone at home.

I've spent the entire day in total shock, thankfully nobody upset me, I just threw myself into my work and got on with things as best I could.

My best wishes (again) for a speedy recovery.

I am deeply moved and strengthened by the many many messages of support, love, friendship and good wishes I have had in the past few days. Emails, PMs, Forum messages, texts, telephone calls, snail mail. All modes of communication have been utilised to tell me I'm in your thoughts. As I am not yet incapacitated by this unwelcome condition, I intend to just carry on as usual, doing what I always do (except gigging, of course) but maybe resting a little more than usual too.

Thank you, friends.

I know I've already said this, but really, good luck mate, get well soon!!!

C'mon Phil, sort it out and get better. Otherwise they'll give Shane back the fucking guitar!
