'Big Jeff' Johns has said he is 'lucky to be alive' after he was badly injured in a house fire at his home in Bristol. Jeff Johns, 39, was rushed to Morriston Hospital, Swansea, in June to be treated at a specialist burns unit.
He was moved from the intensive care unit at the end of July but Jeff may remain in hospital for "many months" after he has sustained severe burns in a cooking fire at his home in Totterdown. He regained consciousness and was taken off a ventilator at the end of June.
In the most recent update from the artist, Jeff has said he was "lucky to be alive" and thanks the staff who are helping his recovery at the hospital in Swansea. Yesterday (August 2) he wrote into Maryanne Hobbs' BBC Radio 6 Music show to ask for a shout-out for those who have "done wonders" for aiding his recovery.
