"We have had our sights set on touring the UK since our band's infancy. Advertisement read more rock band "We were so looking forward to playing your stages and making new friends that we could share our live music with." The Take It Slow singers were due to kick off their tour in Newcastle on July 12, wrapping up in Maidstone on July 19. In between, they were set to play sets in Wakefield, Bilston, Southampton and London. Yet in their post they explained how vocalist TJ had suffered a stroke. Advertisement Most read in Music They added: "On Thursday, June 19th, while operating heavy construction equipment for his father, our lead singer, T.J. Lyle, suffered a mild stroke. "T.J. is recovering the best, but his medical team feels he should rest up a bit, not get too hot and avoid flying for a while. "A huge thank you to all for prayers and everyone pulling for T.J. We promise we will be coming to your shores soon. "Full Steam Ahead…Damn the Torpedoes!! The Georgia Thunderbolts." Advertisement The Georgia-founded band's loyal fans were hugely understanding, and one took to the comments section to write: "Health first always." A second put: "All the best, T.J." What are the symptoms of stroke? The FAST method – which stands for Face, Arms, Speech, Time – is the easiest way to remember the most common symptoms of stroke: F = Face drooping - if one side of a person's face is dropped or numb then ask them to smile, if it's uneven then you should seek help. A = Arm weakness - if one arm is weak or numb then you should ask the person to raise both arms. If one arm drifts downwards then you might need to get help S = Speech difficulty - if a person's speech is slurred then this could be a sign of a stroke T = Time to call 999 - if a person has the signs above then you need to call 999 in the UK or 911 in the US for emergency care. Other symptoms include: sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body difficulty finding words sudden blurred vision or loss of sight sudden confusion, dizziness or unsteadiness a sudden and severe headache difficulty understanding what others are saying difficulty swallowing A third mused: "Get well soon TJ! You are in our thoughts and prayers!" One then added: "TJ's health is the most important. I'll be there for your next UK tour. Love you TJ. Big hugs from Paris to all of you GTB." Advertisement It came after the group pulled out of their scheduled gig at The Hub in Bremen, Georgia, due to the medical issue - but did not at the time state what it was. They first announced their UK tour last month. In an excited Instagram post the group, which formed in 2015 but did not release their debut album Can We Get A Witness until 2021, wrote: "The time has come!! We are excited to announce we're headed to the UK this summer!! "Mark your calendars and get those tickets…on sale now in bio…" Advertisement "We can't wait to meet you all!!

Podcast reviews: Jameela Jamil revisits wronged historical mistresses. Meanwhile, Lucy Worsley sizes up the swindlers
When Jameela Jamil isn't putting her head above the parapet on inclusivity issues, she's co-hosting Mistresses (Audible), a new series putting flesh, bones and brains on six 'Other Women'; the perceived dolly birds of powerful married men. She has teamed up with historian Dr Kate Lister of Betwixt the Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal and Society podcast fame, or from her very funny Instagram posts that straddle academia and erotica. Up for debate are the life and times of Louis XIV's 'official mistress' Madame de Montespan; Virginia Hill, formerly known as 'the female Al Capone' but latterly disregarded as Bugsy Siegel's moll; 7th century concubine turned first and last female emperor of China, Wu Zhao; Fidel Castro's lover Marita Lorenz; Malintzin, the enslaved Mesoamerican entwined with conquistador Hernan Cortes; and Mary Boleyn, with whom Henry VIII had an affair before infamously marrying her sister Anne. Jamil and Lister make a fine double act and occasionally throuple up with The History Gossip's Katie Kennedy for added deadpan wit. Female con artists, from Samantha Cookes to Anna Delvey, are far from a modern phenomenon. Women have always hustled in a world made by and for men. Lucy Worsley dons her best deerstalker hat to sleuth out more Lady Swindlers (Apple, Spotify) in a second season. Fellow historians, authors, comedians and journalists help her unpick crimes of yore, many of which were acts of survival, such as the so-called headline-grabbing Bob-haired Bandit, 20-year-old New Yorker Celia Cooney, who with her husband went on a robbing spree to help provide for their small family (Cooney's granddaughter here tells the real story behind the column inches). Another highlight is Catherine Murphy, single mother of three in 18th century London who began counterfeiting money, then considered treason – and the punishment: burning at the stake. It's either the best or worst time to hear historian Iain MacGregor on Paul Bavill's History Rage (Acast, Apple, Spotify) discuss the flawed narratives surrounding the atomic bomb. 'What is pissing you off in history?' is Bavill's opening gambit, and MacGregor grinds his axe on the film Oppenheimer. 'Great cast and I like the angle of its approach…' he begins, before berating its absence of a Japanese perspective and agreeing that the Pacific War was essentially 'an enormous race riot'.
