Busby MarouQueensland folk/roots duo Busby Marou have had a frightening week this week, with guitarist Jeremy Marou suffering a heart attack and being admitted to hospital.
Not to worry though — Marou is reportedly "recovering well in hospital", according to a Facebook update from the band.
"It's been a crazy week.... Jeremy's ticker gave us a bit of a scare. Nothing like a heart attack to put things into perspective," an Instagram post from the band states.
"Recovery going great and feeling better than ever."
34-year-old Marou suffered the heart attack after playing Oztag and reportedly has a 99% blocked artery. He told ABC Brisbane, "It was a big eye opener for me."
The band have assured that Marou "should be looking good in time for the tour", which kicks off 25 May and is nearly sold out, and is on a strict diet.
Busby Marou recently took home a #1 ARIA debut with their latest record, Postcards From The Shell House.
"What's going to happen to my kids..." just one thing going through Jeremy's mind when the @BusbyMarou guitarist had a heart attack
