"I told Thunder that if they wanted to replace me, I was fine with that": Danny Bowes on the long road to recovery and his return to the stage

Thunder frontman Danny Bowes has lined up a solo spoken word tour of the UK for next summer. Billed as Maximum Chat, its eight shows mark a long-awaited comeback for the much-loved singer, who suffered a stroke back in August 2022. Bowes had unknowingly developed a bleed on his brain that caused him to fall down a long flight of stairs while attending a party, landing on his head and fracturing his skull, followed by the stroke.

After being rushed to hospital by air ambulance, where his shocked wife learned he might not survive the surgery to correct a bleed in his brain, Bowes has rebuilt his life. This involved learning to walk again via countless hours of physiotherapy.
