Hospital discharges Toon Bodyslam
Rock-star Artiwara “Toon” Kongmalai is on the way to recovery after being released from hospital on Monday, his girlfriend Rachwin "Koi" Wongviriya said on Instagram.
On December 14, lead singer of the group Bodyslam was rushed to Bangkok’s Phramongkutklao Hospital after suffering a bulging disc in his cervical vertebrae.
The 41-year-old rock star created history last year when his epic, 55-day run across the country raised Bt1.2 billion for cash-strapped public hospitals.
Cervical herniated disc is a recognised condition among athletes, though it is not known whether Toon sustained the injury through running.
A nephew of Aed Carabao, Toon founded Bodyslam with Thanadol Changsawek and Nathaphol Phannachet in 2002. The band have released seven hit albums so far, mostly under GMM Grammy.
