Kyle Sandilands has hit back at rumours that he’s faking his brain aneurysm.
On Monday, the 53-year-old gave his fans a health update on his KIIS FM radio show, speaking to concerns that were raised over his ’emergency surgery’ being delayed and chatter that he was ‘faking the whole thing’.
‘That I haven’t had the emergency surgery isn’t a surprise to anyone who listens to the show properly because I’ve gone to the surgeon and it’s a strange shape,’ he said.
‘It’s attached to many different arteries or vessels or whatever they are called so it’s not a simple thing to get to,’ Kylie continued.
‘I’ve made it quite clear to journalists and on the show that it’s more dangerous to go in and get it out right now’.
Kyle said that instead of surgery, his doctors will ‘keep monitoring’ the issue and check his status again in six months.

The media personality revealed to listeners he has been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm earlier this month.
Fans of the radio star have expressed their support and well wishes since his heartbreaking admission.
During their radio show, Kyle shared the bombshell that he has a brain aneurysm and requires immediate emergency brain surgery.
‘On Friday, I was told by my medical team – which sounds like I’m already very sick, that I have a brain aneurysm. It requires immediate attention, brain surgery,’ he said.
‘My doctor said if I didn’t get it checked, I would have died. A life of cocaine abuse and partying are not the way to go!’
He then cracked a joke about the show’s lower ratings in Melbourne.
‘If you just tuned in to us after all these years, lap it up. And if you’re in Melbourne… you’re coming to the party too late. You may get your wish. I may be dead,’ he quipped.
Co-host Jackie O Henderson said: ‘Let’s think positive.’
‘That I haven’t had the emergency surgery isn’t a surprise to anyone who listens to the show properly because I’ve gone to the surgeon and it’s a strange shape,’ he said
‘That doesn’t work in real life,’ Kyle responded.
The presenter then explained his condition on air.
‘It’s not a blockage. It’s like, imagine your blood vessel is the garden hose, and the hose is weak and it blisters out like a big bubble, like a puncture in it.
‘It’s like a bike tyre with a big bubble – that bubble’s the aneurysm, so it’s not blocked,’ he said.
‘It’s expanded and if it bursts, (I will become) either a vegetable, in the wheelchair, or dead.’
He revealed his doctor had banned him from doing cocaine, having sex, masturbating, heavy lifting and becoming stressed.
Kyle then revealed the effect the sad news was having on his loved ones.
‘It’s attached to many different arteries or vessels or whatever they are called so it’s not a simple thing to get to,’ Kylie continued
His wife Tegan Kynaston, 39, who he welcomed son Otto with in 2022, ‘bursts into tears’ every time she sees him since they got the sad news, he revealed.
Kyle was absent when the show returned on Tuesday that, and Jackie O told listeners he had vomited on himself.
He returned on air on Wednesday and Thursday, but was away sick again on the Friday.
The star has since been back on air and sharing details of the illness as he gets new information from his medical team.
