Hey guys,
My friend just made me aware of this over on DDM. Someone posted this little bit of info about Andy and his life threatening health crisis.
I HOPE IT'S NOT A SICK APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!!!
I am worried if it's true though.
There's nothing over at his website but I posted a thread just in case.
Associated Press, Mallorca, Spain) News emerged last night from the small Catalonian island of Ibiza, Spain that local resident Andy Taylor, guitarist for international rock band Duran Duran, is fighting for his life in a nearby hospital.
Dr. Loudon Bibet-Tanen is Taylor's attending physician at Policlinica Del Rosario. Dr. Bibet-Tanen offered a brief statement with the family's cooperation to the press last night.
"Yesterday at approximately 11:30 PM, our clinic received an emergency dispatch from Bora-Bora Beach Bar in Playa d'en Bossa. A customer complained of intense chest pain to a bartender, and soon afterward lost consciousness near his family's table.
"Once within our care, we worked diligently towards timely and accurate diagnosis. Scans revealed significant arterial deterioration, which is often a result of high blood pressure. Excessive plaque in his arteries led to the decision of my surgical team to perform emergency cardiac catheterization early this morning, as a response to locate his arterial blockages. He remains critical but stable at this time."
Local radio celebrity Jordi Villalta, DJ for popular house music station 91.7 Europa FM, has organized a candlelight vigil at the beachside Bora Bora tonight as a show of support for Taylor and his family."

well I hope it's not some cruel joke either, but do know many people have this and recover wonderfully! He has a great chance of recovery, he was taken to the hospital right away, not laying somewhere for god knows how long by himself. So that is good news it was caught in time.
Get well Andy

It's a sick joke - there's nothing about it anywhere on the net, no Google alerts, nothing. I'm 100% positive it's a fake report.

This better be an April Fools joke. If it is, then someone has a serious problem. I'm all for jokes, but there is a limit to where they should go -- especially if you are joking about someone's health. As a huge Andy Taylor fan I don't know what I would do if this news were true.

I'm with the sis. Think about what day it is. There's no way this could be kept secret if it was true - Andy's hardly an unknown. Remember how quick CNN jumped all over Simon screwing up some lyrics?

Besides, look at the byline - it's supposed to be an Associated Press article and it isn't ANYWHERE on the web? Hmmm!
This is somebody's very sick idea of a "gotcha!". And one of the reasons I'm not a fan of April Fool's Day. Some people have a horrible sense of "humor"...

Apparently the person who posted this on Lizard King this morning also posted a 'joke' about John being hurt in a car crash last April Fool's Day.
He's also just posted another joke news article on the Lizard King DD page about Simon having testicular elongation surgery (this one's clearly facetious).
Don't worry!!!
