Keane's Tom Chaplin Sick TWICE Onstage

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin was sick twice during the band’s performance at a Warchild gig in Manchester gig last night.

The ex-alcoholic and cocaine addict was diagnosed with a severe throat infection and gastro enteritis and spent much of yesterday spewing up his guts.

However, he battled on with last night’s event at the Apollo – despite having to leave the stage twice to be sick.

Organisers said in a statement: “Tom from Keane was struck down with a severe throat infection and gastro enteritis during rehearsals for the Keane War child event. On stage in Manchester, Tom had to leave to vomit on at least two occasions, after being sick all day, but like a true professional Tom played on – delighting the Manchester audience and raising thousands for War Child.

“The show had to finish 15 minutes early as paramedics had to be called, but Peter Kaye held court delighting a satisfied and sympathetic audience.”

Despite his illness, the band are set to go ahead with the second Warchild event tonight at London’s Brixton Academy where Keane perform alongside Lily Allen.

The statement finished: “War Child is an extremely important charity to him and Keane and in his own words... The show must go on!” 

Bless his spherical chops.
