Marc Almond says public helped him recover after crash
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 29 June 2010
Marc Almond has been discussing his recovery from that 2004 motorbike accident that left him in a coma for two weeks.
Talking to ‘This Morning’ about his subsequent return to both the studio and the stage, Almond says: “As soon as I was able to, I thought ‘I’m not going to waste time – I’m getting back in the studio, back on stage’. I probably did all that before I was really ready to. I suspect that was me thinking, ‘I’m not going to be a victim and let this ruin my life and career, I’m getting back on stage’. That’s what I do. What else can I do?”
He added that the response from the British public to the accident helped him in his recovery. He continued: “It was down to the British public, who were so kind and so supportive. What really surprised me was all the affection I had from the British public, who really supported me”.
He concluded: “I feel better now than I have ever felt before. I feel rejuvenated, I have my creativity back. It took a while, it was a difficult time. But I feel really lucky to be alive”.
