A guitarist whose excessive water drinking led to his diagnosis of a deadly brain tumour is to be honoured in a concert. Martin Evans would drink so much water that he would flush his body of salt.
When hospitalised, he was eventually told he had a glioblastoma multiforme in 2019. He died just nine months after his diagnosis, aged 69, and his brother Gary Evans, 66, is putting together a charity concert to celebrate his life.
Gary, from Romsey, Hampshire, said: “Martin was always a bit ‘odd’ growing up and it wasn’t until later in life when he was diagnosed with autism that his behaviour made more sense to us. He used to drink excessive amounts of water, which led him to be hospitalised a few times as he flushed his body of salt.”
