THE Troggs frontman Reg Presley has suffered a serious stroke while on holiday in Spain.
The 68 year old, whose band’s hits include Wild Thing, Love Is All Around and With A Girl Like You, was playing with his grandchildren when he fell ill on Friday.
Now the singer, pictured, is out of hospital with his wife of 48 years, Brenda, but he has been left unsteady on his feet and with double vision.
His voice has also been affected, casting doubt whether the singer will ever perform again.
Brenda said: “It was very frightening. He had a serious stroke. I was very upset at the time. He was in hospital for a week but is now back in our house in Spain recuperating. He won’t be coming back to England for a few weeks.”

A stroke is one of the worst things that can befall someone; if it doesn’t kill you, it severely affects you. I’m two months short of 70 and am really sweating it. Both parents died of strokes.
