A famous music lover is being treated in a Swansea burns unit after he was seriously injured in a fire. Messages of support have flooded in for Jeff Johns — widely known as Big Jeff — who is legendary for his passionate dancing at Bristol gigs.
A statement posted to Jeff's Twitter page on Monday said he had been "very seriously injured" in a fire at his Totterdown home, adding: "He is in a specialist burns unit in Swansea in a stable condition. His family have asked for people to keep Jeff in their thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.”
The post prompted hundreds of supportive messages, including Cardiff-based music page Minty's Gig Guide writing: "Saying a little prayer for Big Jeff Johns tonight. I know I’m not the only one. I hope to get a massive cuddle from him one day soon. It truly is like being hugged by a gentle giant. And not forgetting a schooling on what gigs are going to be OFF THE CHART. Love you man x."
