Matt McBriar, from the electronic duo Bicep, shared news of his operation along with a picture from his hospital bed, saying if the tumour had been left longer he might have 'lost some eyesight' and suffered other health problems.
Producer and DJ Matt McBriar, who is one half of successful electronic music duo Bicep, has announced he has had surgery to treat a 'large and pretty rare' brain tumour. The craniopharyngioma growth was discovered on his pituitary gland earlier this year, he said in an Instagram post, after the onset of 'intense localised headaches' and a 'weird fatigue' towards the end of 2023.
Had it been much longer I might've lost some eyesight and a load of other problems due to the size and position of the tumour pressing on my optic nerves.' McBriar said he had been through 'many rounds of hospital appointments and tests' before having surgery. 'I decided to carry on living life and playing shows as normal and it was personally important to keep my mind busy,' he wrote. 'The operation went well and I'm currently recovering in hospital.
