House-musiikin DJ Lil Louis on tiedottanut kuulo-ongelmastaan. Miehen vasen korva vaurioittui Manchesterissä hiilidioksiditehostesuihkun eli co2-tykin johdosta. Soundcheckin aikana sattunut onnettomuus johti keikan peruuntumiseen ja Louis joutui hakeutumaan hoitoon.
Facebook-sivuilleen lisäämässä viestissä mies kertoo olevansa vasemman korvan osalta kuuro. Dj-työ kuitenkin jatkuu, mies lupaa soittaa musiikkia tuplavolyymilla;
”Regretfully I have been told that I have suffered permanent damage in my left ear. Difficult as this has been to fathom, I’ve excepted this as my new normal. I’ve considered walking away a thousand times… Until this morning when I was awakened by a voice that said, “You have a gift”. Hearing that voice, I realised the gift God gave me was not in my ears. It was where I’ve heard everything I ever created first, in my mind. So for my father and everyone who prayed for me, I move ONWARDS… I will not stop. Even if I can only hear with one ear, I’ll play twice as loud, so you can feel it…”
