Joe Elliott - Tour Diary Quotes

"A heart attack at 33? Surely not..."

"I can hardly move. I'm not particularly freaked out cos I'm not actually dead, but I've got to say I'm a little concerned."

"As we rise into the air, the pain starts to move into my side, and by the time we land, it's under my shoulder blades. I'm thinking I've got trapped air. Good. Sit on the bog for half-an-hour and well... you know the rest! But Malvin, the tour manager, insists I got to the hospital for a check up. So here I am at 3.15pm, wired up to every machine in the place, being checked for everything except measles."

"As I suspected, the ticker is in good shape, but my chest x-rays show up a cloudy patch at the bottom of my lungs. The doctor tells me it's possible pleurisy."
