In a previous post, Pilgrim revealed that he had suffered from a collapsed lung.
“We figured out why I’ve been man-down for over 2 weeks… At hospital allowing a collapsed lung to start working again by draining 2 liters of fluid from the chest cavity ?. The other 2L will come out in a week or two,” he said.
The radio presenter was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
