Russell Brand Forced To Stop Show After Migraine Attack

Russell Brand

Funny man Russell Brand was forced to stop his stand-up show in Los Angeles on Thursday night as he suffered a migraine attack.

The 36 year old was in the middle of the low-key 90-minute set when he announced: “I have a terrible pain. I need pain killers. Sorry about this. I feel nauseous now. I feel sick.”

The Mirror reports he was able to continue the show after aides brought him medication from the side of the stage but added: “I think I’m such a professional showman. This is beyond ridiculous stopping to take medication.”

Could it be the realisation that he has waived a huge portion of Katy Perry’s million pound fortune in divorce papers on Tuesday?

It has been a stressful few months for Brand after he announced he would divorce the singer in December due to “irreconcilable differences”.

At the show on Thursday Brand also reportedly said he had become “disenchanted and disillusioned” with life as a celebrity.

If he is disillusioned with being a celeb. He could always get a proper job!

Thank goodness the Yanks love him. Can we ask them to keep him so we can concentrate on the real comedians over here? Please!

If we dyed his hair and beard white could we get him on a one way flight to Switzerland for treatment.

Shame all of his "performances" cannot be cancelled permanently, talentless, tasteless nomark !
13:58 on 12/02/2012
Funny when was that ?.
12:17 on 12/02/2012
In my view calling Brand a" comic" is an insult to the true comics ...But he can look on the bright side of things there will always be someone who loves him and thinks he's funny.... HIMSELF !!!!

now he knows how his audience feel,,nothing funny about him

He may have had a headache but certainly not a migraine. Anyone here who has had a real migraine will know that he would never have been able to carry on.

That was what I thought - haven't had them often, but I could barely open my eyes and move, let alone carry out a stage show. Just his usual narcissistic attention seeking.

He never said he had a migraine, it was the Huff Post that said he did.

I feel sorry for Russell and Katy in the sense that they seemed so in love at first, and then just grew further and further apart. Their marriage barely lasted, after all the money and journeys around the world and tattoos to 'bind' them together, and now they will go through a very public divorce.

Perhaps it would be better for both of them to take some time out of the limelight and heal. Brand seems a lost soul at times - he seems to thoroughly enjoy being the centre of attention, and will do anything necessary to get there, including announcing that he is a sex addict and that controversial radio show. There will be a time when there is simply nothing left for him to do - and that never seems to end well.

utter nonsense
11:27 on 12/02/2012
......“disenchanted and disillusioned” with life as a celebrity. What nonsense. There's nothing he likes more than being the centre of attention.

Funny man?
11:22 on 12/02/2012
yes, russell brand and funnyman don't make sense.
