Big Jeff "expected to remain in hospital for many months" after house fire
The family of Bristol live music legend Big Jeff have shared an update on his health after he was "seriously injured" in a house fire, revealing that he's "expected to remain in hospital for many months".
Last week it was revealed that Jeff Johns, known as Bristol's most enthusiastic gig-goer Big Jeff, was "seriously injured" in a fire at his Bristol home, and was in a "specialist burns unit in Swansea in a stable condition."
Yesterday (20 June) Johns' family and his art manager Lee Dodds shared an update via his art website and socials, writing, "Since being involved in an accidental fire whilst cooking at home on June 6th, Jeff has been treated in Swansea Morriston hospital for severe burns. He is stable in intensive care , but still under heavy sedation and unconscious whilst a series of procedures and skin grafts are beginning."
The statement continued, "He is expected to remain in hospital for many months, and is unable to receive any visitors for the time being."
"His family and close friends would like to thank everyone for the enormous outpouring of love and support, and ask that people still keep Jeff in their thoughts," Johns' family added.
