Prolific DJ and producer DJ Vadim, real name Vadim Peare, was diagnosed last week with Ocular Melanoma, or cancer of the eye.
He was treated immediately for the rare form of cancer at the Liverpool Royal Hospital, by an eye specialist who used a groundbreaking keyhole surgery to preserve the eye. Vadim's PA Ben Dawson told CMU that the DJ had been discharged and is making "a good recovery".
This sudden turn of events means that all Vadim gigs have been cancelled for the next month, with more cancellations possible, depending on the speed of his recovery.
