Michael Barrymore, 73, reveals shock health diagnosis that led to mini strokes as he reaches out to fans for support in heartbreaking post
August 15, 2025
Michael Barrymore has revealed a shock health diagnosis that led to mini strokes as he reached out to fans for support in a heartbreaking TikTok video on Thursday. The comedian, 73, was previously one of the UK’s top stars but his decades long career ended after the death of Stuart Lubbock in 2001 following a party at his Essex home. Michael has become an unlikely icon for Gen Z and is now a well-loved TikToker and YouTube vlogger. But in a recent video posted online, the star revealed he had been diagnosed with epilepsy which was caused by a mini stroke. Sharing a series of photos of him in a hospital, he penned: ‘I developed epilepsy at 73… A mini stroke caused me to develop epilepsy where I have uncontrollable seizures. I suffer from cluster seizures, which affects a quarter of people with epilepsy. It means I have more than one, usually three individual seizures in a short period of time. It’s scary because there’s a 40% chance of going into epilepticus which causes brain damage and death without prompt medical attention. I’ve had several attacks this year and have emergency medication at home if I go into a seizure. It doesn’t really affect my life otherwise, but it would be nice to talk with other sufferers on here about it.’

August 15, 2025
Swedish melodeath pioneers At The Gates have revealed that they have a new album on the way, but with that announcement they’ve also shared some sad news about the health of vocalist Tomas Lindberg [52]. He was diagnosed with cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, in December of 2023, and had a major surgery and radiation therapy to treat it. Doctors found more traces of cancer earlier this year, however, and in an update he wrote in March, Lindberg said, “we will see what the next step is, but probably some form of chemo therapy, to keep the cancer in check.” Since writing his March update, which also includes details on the upcoming album, Lindberg suffered a setback and has been hospitalized. The band says he’s “been receiving dedicated care in a specialized ward where he is being closely monitored around the clock,” and that “even in a best-case-scenario we know the recovery will take a long time.” They also say they hope to share more details on the album soon.
