As per a post and accompanying statement shared on his Instagram profile, Brendon was rushed to the emergency ward of a hospital almost two weeks ago due to a condition called Tachycardia Arrhythmia, in which the heart beats abnormally fast.
"Some of you might remember he had a similar incident after his second spinal surgery last year (for Cauda Equina) but this time. He is trying to get a little more rest and has been concentrating on medical appointments," said the statement.
The post shows him lying on a gurney inside an ambulance, on a wheelchair and on the hospital bed. One photo shows him with his dog, so he may have recovered.
