When words vanish live on air…Kyle’s stroke scare delivered a chilling warning you can’t ignore
- Replies 26
Kyle Sandilands’ sudden absence has left fans questioning what really happened.
The shock came only days after he alarmed listeners by saying he may have suffered a ‘stroke’ live on-air.
Now, concerns are mounting as details of his health struggles continue to surface.
The radio star was missing from the broadcast of his KIIS FM breakfast program, just two days after an unsettling moment in which he admitted he felt something was wrong.
During another episode, Sandilands appeared disoriented as he repeatedly stumbled over his words.
After fumbling, he told his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson: ‘I think I’ve had a stroke. I feel that I’ve said the wrong words multiple times this morning, and I’m not super tired.’
Henderson quickly tried to reassure him, responding: ‘No, you haven’t.’
A producer then pointed out to listeners that Sandilands had mixed up the word ‘mattock’ with ‘Matlock’, fuelling concerns about his health.
The incident came after the 53-year-old revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm alongside other medical issues.
His health battles have been a recurring theme in recent months, particularly as he opened up about his struggles with weight gain.
Just last month, Sandilands confessed that physical activity had become increasingly difficult after putting on 12kg in the past year, bringing his weight to 138kg.
‘I’m 138, I thought I was massive. I’ve been a bit … I don’t know whether “depressed” is the word? Ever since this aneurysm thing came up a year ago,’ he admitted.
‘I brushed it off inside. My wife is on me about it, asking if I would like to come for a walk with her and (their son) Otto. I would like to, but just too fat and lazy to go.’
Despite his concerns, he also admitted he had little interest in overhauling his diet.
‘I also use an opportunity to eat a packet of chicken and biscuits! I know I’m doing myself in,’ he told listeners.
He added that he had undergone a round of medical scans earlier this week and was awaiting results.
In a moment of dark humour, Sandilands floated the idea of creating a weight-loss support group if his results gave him the all-clear.
‘I did all these scans yesterday, haven’t got the results yet. If I’m good, then I will put together a club, “Kyle’s Big Fatso Club”, where I want others to join me in my slow march to healthiness. Who is with me?’ he said.
Moments like Kyle’s on-air stroke scare are a powerful reminder of how quickly health can change.
While his story sparked concern, it also highlights the importance of knowing what we can do to lower our own risks.
If you’re looking for practical steps backed by expert advice, there’s another story worth reading.

Losing a voice so familiar to listeners—at least temporarily—has left many asking: do you hope Sandilands uses this moment to turn his health around?
