Scottish singer Edwyn Collins has undergone emergency brain surgery after suffering a haemorrhage last month. The wife of the former Orange Juice frontman said yesterday that Collins was recovering, is "as well as can be hoped for" and is "continuing to fight". The singer is currently in a London hospital while his condition is being stabilised.
Collins first came to attention through his band Orange Juice in the early eighties, though it was with his 1995 solo hit 'A Girl
Like You' that he enjoyed mainstream success.
Collins' wife thanked fans and well-wishers for their "loving thoughts", promising to keep them up to date on Collins' condition via his official website.
