Feehily penned: “Firstly, I'd like to say a huge sincere thank you to everybody for sending their love and get well soon messages - it means so much.

"I was really gutted to miss the weekend shows in Newcastle but I started to feel quite unwell on Friday and the doctors have confirmed that it's a bout of pneumonia.”

He went on: “I know it's scary when you first hear the word 'Pneumonia' but thankfully I got to the doctor and hospital very quickly and got on the antibiotics as soon as possible, so everything is currently under control.

“I have been informed that the quickest way to recovery is to rest and continue the antibiotics. I'm feeling a bit better every day.

“The nurses and doctors are taking amazing care of me so it should all be over in no time.”

He continued: “This does however mean missing more gigs which is horrible but I'll be back on stage as soon as I get the all clear.
