Texas band member 'fighting for life'
Texas band member Alistair McErlaine has suffered a brain haemorrhage, according to reports.

The guitarist has been in a London hospital since Tuesday while his wife Shelly sits by his bedside.

Bandmate Sharleen Spiteri told The Daily Record: "I am thinking of Ally and all of his family at this time. My thoughts are with them.

"Like everyone else, I am desperately hoping Ally will get well and pull through. It is a shock. He is a personal friend and all of us are wishing him well with all our hearts."

A spokesman for the band also commented: "We heard the news today. It is something we are still coming to terms with. Ally is a great lad and well liked by everyone. He has had a bad one.

"We have been told the next 48 hours are critical."
