He said: 'You could say I’m a walking, talking miracle. I’m so grateful to be alive. I was in Butlins and I had finished a fitness class.
'I got in the car and I was on the A3 on the phone to my wife. I was literally losing touch with reality. I said “hun I think I’m having a spiritual experience I will talk to you soon” so I pulled over.

Enlightenment: Chico revealed he believed he was having a spiritual experience after he began to lose sensation in his left arm
The life-threatening 2cm blood clot caused the stroke, which occurred while Chico was driving home to Barnet.
The singer felt his face drop while at the wheel before he lost all sensation in his left arm. He managed to pull over at a pub before vomiting and blacking out.
‘I was thinking “I’m dying here”, he said. 'There was a pub in the distance I managed to get myself together, I had lost the use of my left arm but I had no idea I was having a stroke.
New outlook on life: He said: 'You could say I’m a walking, talking miracle. I’m so grateful to be alive. I was in Butlin’s and I had finished a fitness class.
Terrifying: 'I thought this was an awakening, an enlightenment, but it was a near-death experience'
‘I got to the car park and I thought "I'm about to die and I'm alone". It was a life review and I thought I'd not fulfilled my life ambition.’
Visibly shaken, Chico then burst into tears as he recalled the thoughts which went through his head just before he blacked out.
He sobbed: 'I was looking at a photo of my family in my car and though I’m not going to see my daughter walk down the aisle and I'm not a granddad.
'If I close my eyes and don't wake up again and I said to this spiritual God "I just want you to know I’ve done my best". '

The fitness fanatic woke up an hour and a half later and managed to head to the pub for some food, but without realising the seriousness of what had happened began his two hour journey home.
He said: 'I went to sleep and in the morning I still didn’t realise. I had to drive to Skegness for three hours, do another fitness class and I was literally out of the count when I got back home.
'I didn’t know it was a stroke. I am all about the fitness and I thought it was a virus.
'I went to the doctors on the Tuesday and he looked at the results of my MRI scan. There was a 50p sized clot on the right-hand side on my brain. As soon as the doctor came back he said: “This is a full-on stroke.”

The Chico Time hitmaker's doctor, Dr Adam Webber explains Chico was treated as an outpatient and is now continuing his treatment with medication and will have several more follow up tests and scans.
Dr Adam said: 'Chico has made a remarkable recovery which is very unexpected considering what the scan results showed. I have never seen a case like this before in my career.
'To have suffered an acute stroke like this and to have recovered like he has is very unusual, to have no obvious outward signs or symptoms that this has happened to him is amazing.
'I can only attribute it to your fitness and positive outlook on life.'

Chico revealed to the...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
