“Towards the end of 2023, I got some intense localised headaches matched with a weird fatigue that felt new,” McBriar mentioned.<\/p>\n

“I got several blood tests in spring 2024 which came back indicating that something was wrong, so my GP arranged an MRI followed by a CT scan.”<\/p>\n

He mentioned it was at this stage the craniopharyngioma tumour was found.<\/p>\n

“The good news is firstly, it\u2019s almost certainly not cancerous and secondly, I\u2019ve caught it in the earlier stages of damage,” he added. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019d been very lucky to get those initial blood tests followed by an MRI. <\/p>\n

“Had it been for much longer I would\u2019ve misplaced some eyesight and a load of different issues as a result of measurement and place of the tumour urgent on my optic nerves.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He mentioned he had “determined to hold on residing life and enjoying exhibits as regular and it was personally vital to maintain my thoughts busy” during the initial treatment.<\/p>\n

He said the post-surgery recovery would take six to eight weeks “and a protracted street of aftercare however I\u2019m feeling extremely grateful and fortunate”.<\/p>\n

Belfast-born\/London-based duo Bicep – McBriar and Andy Ferguson – are childhood friends who bonded over a shared love of dance music.<\/p>\n

They have been gigging and playing live for more than a decade, and have become one of the biggest names in both underground and mainstream dance music.<\/p>\n

McBriar said Ferguson would continue performing upcoming shows as Bicep solo until further notice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
