Jeff Johns has marked one year since his near-death experience in a devastating house fire. The legendary Bristol gig-goer and artist, who is affectionately known by Bristolians as ‘Big Jeff’, was described by his supporters as a "warrior" as he shared a photo and video showing his body scars.
Taking to Instagram today (June 6) he wrote: “One year on from the horrific accident that pretty much killed me. Well I’m still here @avonfirerescue @southmeadhospitalcharity.” He then shared a video of himself playing the drum kit, which he referred to as his "morning physio".
It was June 6, 2022 when Big Jeff returned home from the O2 Academy in Bristol, where he was watching Amyl and the Sniffers perform. On his return he decided to cook himself a meal, but the bottom of his shirt caught alight on the gas hob resulting in a flash fire.
