Overview

• In Peter Kay’s Diary, he describes sudden abdominal pain escalating over a weekend to intense right‑side pain that sent him to hospital.
• A CT scan confirmed a large stone obstructing the exit of his right kidney, prompting doctors to order emergency surgery.
• Urologists performed an endoscopic laser procedure accessed via the urethra and fitted a temporary stent to protect kidney function.
• Kay says the stone was removed successfully but he suffered significant pain as the anaesthetic wore off and during later stent removal.
• He postponed two Nottingham shows in September on medical advice, with SJM Concerts offering rescheduling or refunds and stating he would rest and recover.
