Noted soul music songwriter and producer Ian Levine has suffered a stroke and is attempting to recover. He wrote on his Facebook wall the following:
As many of my close friends know, I am in hospital having suffered a major stroke. The left side of my body is paralysed and I am bitterly unhappy and resentful. I did not want this making public, but the last person in the world who I wanted to know, Philip Morris, has seen fit to tell the whole world against my wishes. I am very upset over this, so therefore have to own up what happened. I am fighting hard to recover the use of my foot but may never get my hand back. I still need everybody to support Cutting Edge, because I want it to still be going when I get better enough to DJ again. I told all my close friends that I did not want this news either on Soul Source or the Doctor Who forums because I did not want Philip Morris to know, because I knew he couldn’t wait to spread the word. I’m trying to be as optimistic as possible and have had wonderful support from the best friends anyone could ever hope for. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
