“I would describe the impact and shock as feeling as if I had been hit by a bus,” Gallagher‘s statement read. “I ended up in a heap. I have been told that I will never really recover from the damage, and still feel painful twinges.”

The statement continued, “The emotional impact it had was essentially coping with the pressure to perform so as not to let the band down. For a considerable period I was operating at 50 percent of my capabilities.”
