Celebrity medium Tyler Henry, known for his Netflix series Life After Death, revealed he had a brain tumour near the centre of his brain
Netflix star Tyler Henry revealed he underwent surgery after doctors found a colloid tumour near the centre of his brain. The Life After Death with Tyler Henry star took to his Instagram page to share a picture of himself lying face down in a hospital bed with gauze over the middle of his head.
He had his eyes closed, but still smiled for the cameras as he told fans in the caption: "Brain surgery was a success! Great prognosis, incredible staff, and I feel so thankful to be surrounded by my family. I'll be on bed rest for a month and look forward to getting back to doing readings."

Tyler added: "For those of you who connect with me virtually, not much will change as far as private reading giveaways and group readings, right now I'm just on the mend.
"For those curious, I had a colloid tumor near the center of my brain and thankfully most of it has been removed! (The tumor, not my brain… that is). This isn't my first rodeo with this and I have so much to be thankful for.
"I'll see ya'll very soon with lots of thought-provoking subjects and of course, readings. Thank you all so much for your support."
The NHS states a colloid tumour is a "brain tumour is where cells in the brain grow in an uncontrolled way. Non-cancerous tumours (also called low-grade or benign tumours) usually grow slowly and are less likely to spread than cancerous tumours."
Fans soon took to the comment section to share their support for the star as he recovers.
‌
One user posted: "Nice to see your smile. So glad all went well. Sending love!" While one friend commented: "Tyler! You Earth Angel, so grateful you're ok and doing well. Sweetest smile."
"Sending so much love and healing energy. You're amazing and so incredibly generous hearted. Wishing you much ease and gentle healing," another fan posted.
Tyler is best known as a clairvoyant medium on many programmes, including Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry. He's given readings to celebrities in the past, including Amber Rose, Carmen Electra, Megan Fox, Bobby Brown, Alan Thicke, Monica Potter, Kristin Cavallari and more.

A week before he underwent surgery, Tyler revealed he tied the knot with musician Clint Godwin after almost a decade together. Along with a picture of the two posing by railing, he wrote: "Today, we are married! Life with you is an endless sleepover with my best friend and life's just getting started.
"I knew when we met nearly a decade ago that you would be the one, and that conviction only grew stronger with every day. Best premonition ever!"
The couple met in 2016 after Clint messaged him for a reading after seeing him on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He said to GLAAD: "He messaged me and said that he'd be interested in a reading. I knew the second I saw him that I had something that I needed to share with him regarding his grandfather, who had died.
"His grandfather had recently taken his own life. As I connected with him, I relayed exactly why that decision was made. Immediately, I found myself a part of his family, being immersed in what they were going through."
