Tommy Emmanual, one of Australia's greatest guitarists, has sadly fallen quite ill with a heart condition and had to cancel all live performances. This includes a scheduled tour of his home country in early 2008. A statement on his website reads:

Dear Friends,

I'm taking some time to get my body and soul to where I'm at my best again. I couldn't carry on at the pace I lived and realized I was out of control. Thank you for all your prayers, emails and messages of support. I appreciate you all so much and I promise to be the best I can.

Love,
TE

Best wishes go out to Tommy and we hope he has a speedy recovery.
