Following the onset of “intense localised headaches” and a “weird fatigue” towards the end of 2023, he revealed in an Instagram post that a craniopharyngioma growth on his pituitary gland was identified earlier this year.
McBriar posted a photo of himself from his hospital bed and stated that his surgery on August 9 went well.
He stated that the tumor was discovered “in the earlier stages of damage” and is “almost certainly not cancerous”.
Northern Ireland’s Bicep have been playing all spring and summer, including appearances at Coachella and Glastonbury. Additional festival dates are booked for August.
They abruptly canceled their scheduled performance at this weekend’s Boardmasters festival in Cornwall.
McBriar shared a picture on Instagram with the 397,000 followers of the duo, stating: “My GP scheduled an MRI and CT scan after I had multiple blood tests in the spring of 2024, which showed abnormalities.
Regretfully, they informed me that a sizable and rather uncommon tumor called a craniopharyngioma had been found on my pituitary gland [in my brain]. The good news is that I detected it early on, so the harm is minimal, and it’s most likely not cancerous.
