Sydney radio king Kyle Sandilands, 53, has revealed he will undergo emergency brain surgery.
“On Friday, I was told by my medical team, which sounds like I’m already very sick – to have a medical team – that I have a brain aneurysm and it requires immediate attention, brain surgery,” Sandilands told listeners on Monday morning.
“If you just tuned in to us after all these years, lap it up. And if you’re in Melbourne … you’re coming to the party too late. You may get your wish. I may be dead.”
