Glaswegian techno whiz Alex Smoke has been hospitalised in Melbourne following his appearance at Revolver on Sunday night. He is undergoing surgery for a lung collapse that occurred during his set at The Likes Of You Summer Series show.

As the statement details: “Approximately 15 minutes into his DJ set performance, Smoke claims that it hurt ‘every time the bass kicked in’ but he was not deterred and continued to perform, seemingly unaware of the severity of the situation, despite the immense pain. Displaying a work ethic beyond the call of duty, Smoke decidedly honoured his scheduled one-hour DJ set.

“As soon as his performance concluded, Smoke expressed to the venue managers that he needed to go to the hospital when they immediately rushed him emergency where doctors soon had advised him that he would need to undergo the keyhole surgery that is scheduled today.”

As a result, promoter Thick as Thieves has been forced to cancel the remainder of Alex Smoke’s tour this weekend.

Alex Smoke will no longer appear at these shows:
