Hello Sailor frontman Graham Brazier has been hospitalised after suffering a heart attack forcing the cancellation of the band's reunion tour.
The 62 year-old suffered the heart attack while on holiday in the Bay of Islands last week and was flown to Auckland Hospital where he underwent emergency treatment.
He is now in a stable condition and and expected to recover, says the tour's promoter.
"I know that Graham was looking forward to the tour, we all were, but we wish our mate a speedy recovery and trust we can get Hello Sailor back on the road again in the future once he is better, " says bandmate Harry Lyon.
