Alan Brazil gives health update after terrifying moment during life-saving operation

Alan Brazil revealed that his “heart stopped beating” whilst he was undergoing a life-saving liver transplant.

The TalkSPORT host delivered a health update on Thursday (4 June), after being noticeably absent from the airwaves for months. “I’m very, very lucky to be here,” he told listeners.

The 66-year-old explained that he underwent the surgery just hours after finishing a radio shift last month.

“Bang, they opened me up and performed for something like eight hours. They transplanted my liver… My heart did stop for a bit; it came back on its own.”

“I swear I thought my days were numbered, honestly,” he said, adding that he is feeling much better now.
