  • International DJ John '00’ Fleming is recovering in hospital after a boating accident at the weekend nearly cost him his life. In a press release from his management they describe the horrific ordeal that occurred last weekend:
    John was enjoying the hot weather with friends down near Brighton UK at the weekend when he came off the back of an inflatable doughnut and subsequently got hit by the boat that was towing him. Fortunately he survived with a collapsed lung, four broken ribs and a deep gash to his arm. Often this type of accident can prove fatal but John was luckily wearing a life jacket which took the brunt of the propeller. Without it the blades would have sliced through his chest. John will be released from hospital in the next few days and is expected to make a full recovery within the next 3 to 4 weeks.
    All being well he should be able to honour all gigs from July 22nd onwards and in the mean time John send his apologies to all his fans who were expecting to see him particularly in Brazil and Ibiza. RA wishes John the speediest recoveries and hopes that he is back to full health as soon as possible.
