“I couldn’t process playing any familiar songs but strummed chords. The whole experience was fascinating”: Guitarist undergoes eight-hour brain surgery – and plays his acoustic during the operation

Colin Miller from Kent, England, was diagnosed with a life-limited glioblastoma late last year, after the left side of his face went into spasm on his way from a holiday in Cyprus. Shortly after, he underwent surgery at King’s College Hospital in London to remove a golf ball-sized tumor on his brain.
