Avicii has surgery to remove gallbladder and appendix
Top DJ Avicii has thanked fans for their support after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix and gallbladder.
The Wake Me Up hitmaker was forced to scrap a string of shows earlier this week (begs24Mar14) after falling ill.
He checked into a Miami, Florida hospital on Thursday (27Mar14)
following problems with his gallbladder, only for doctors to
discover his appendix had ruptured.
He underwent an operation to remove the organs on Saturday
(29Mar14) and he has now reached out to fans to insist he is on the
mend.
Taking to Twitter.com after surgery, he wrote, "Thanks for your
concern everyone, it means a lot to me! Turns out i had a ruptured
appendix on top of my sick gallbladder...both were removed during
the operation. Now i feel like s**t but at least i'm on the road to
recovery (sic)..."
The Swedish star also told fans that he expects to be back to full
fitness in time for his tour, which kicks off in Boston,
Massachusetts on 10 April (14).
