The Troggs Star Reg Presley Suffers Stroke
by Staff
The Troggs frontman Reg Presley is recovering
after suffering a serious stroke while on
vacation in Spain.
The British rocker was staying at his holiday
home with his wife and grandchildren when he
fell ill on Friday (03Sep10) and was taken into
hospital.
The Wild Thing hitmaker, 68, has since been
released from the medical facility but is still
suffering from double vision and his voice has
been affected, according to his wife Brenda.
She tells Britain's Sunday Express, "It was very
frightening. He had a serious stroke. I was very
upset at the time. He was in hospital for a week
but is now back in our house in Spain
recuperating. He won't be coming back to
England for a few weeks."

Troggs' Reg Presley has stroke on holiday
By Jane Adams 5/09/2010
Reg Presley, lead singer with Sixties favourites The
Troggs, has suffered a stroke.
His family said Reg, 68, was playing with his grandchildren
on holiday in Spain when he had to be taken to hospital in
Malaga.
Yesterday Brenda, his wife for 48 years, said: "It was very
frightening. He had a serious stroke and was in hospital for
a week.
"He is recuperating and is back in our house in Spain, but
he won't be back in the UK for a while."
"Reg is still very unsteady on his feet and he has double
vision and his speech is still a bit slurred. We are taking
one day at a time."
Reg, whose biggest hits with The Troggs were Wild Thing
and Love Is All Around, was still active with the band. A gig
scheduled for a few weeks' time at Liskeard, Cornwall, has
been cancelled.

Reg Presley has been one of my best friends for many years.
We used to live just half a mile from each other in the town of Andover, Hampshire, England.
Reg enjoys a laugh and is a very humble person, one of those who has managed to keep his feet on
the ground following sudden and prolonged fame. He still is lead singer of the famous 60s pop group
The Troggs, best known for big hits such as "Wild Thing", "Love is All Around" and "With a Girl Like
You".
When my wife Synthia and I got married I asked Reg if he would be my best man which he was pleased
to accept. For Reg and his wife Brenda this entailed a flight across the Atlantic Ocean to Connecticut
but Reg hates flying. He did what he has to do for all the shows around the world with The Troggs band
and headed for London's Heathrow airport and flew to be with us in Connecticut for the wedding.
We share many interests, the Crop Circles, UFO research and Current Affairs. We have both authored
books, appeared on television and radio in many countries, Reg for years longer than myself.
Busty Taylor, Reg and I have spent many hours on the hill tops of Wiltshire staring into the dark sky
talking and hoping to see activity in the crop circle fields or UFOs overhead - incidentally we have seen
both (see photo below)
Along with Busty Taylor, the three of us enjoy a nice dinner out with our partners, followed by a red wine
and for Reg a cigarette. The easy chat is usually around the whole range of strange and mysterious
.i.e. 2012, the crop circles, ET's and UFOs along with deeper discussion about consciousness and
crazy politicians.
I spoke to Reg and his wife Bren tonight ( 6th Sept 2010) by telephone in their Spanish Villa. He
was in good spirits but it upset me to hear his slurred speech. He says half of his body feels OK but the
other half isn't working. He has pins a needles in one arm and leg and his foot and hand aren't working
as they should. He is also having difficulty walking but he says each day slowly he is improving.
Synthia and I send all our love and prayers for a speedy recovery and send support and hugs to Bren
and their family. Busty, loyal as always is taking care of things back in UK.
As you will see below - Reg gets stuck into the whole spectrum of his interests. At the same time The
Troggs have continued a busy schedule. Incidentally he just finished a huge tour of UK which ended in
the Albert Hall in London. He promised me tonight that he will now slow down.
Colin Andrews - September 6, 2010.
UPDATE - Sept 30, 2010:
Reg and Bren finally flew back to England today. He is still in recovery and will be taking a
little easy for a while and also having medical tests etc.
UPDATE - Sept 21, 2010:
I called Reg today and he is still resting in Spain but has good news that he has been cleared by
doctors to fly again and so on the 29th of this month, he and Brenda will fly back to their home near
Andover, Hampshire, England. He said he is definitely progressing still but more slowly than at the
beginning. He is having some difficulties with his speech and he is a little off balance walking. He said
he has stopped smoking and is receiving help with that.
We had our usual discussion about world events and resolved just one of them: Money. We decided
that there will be none. Money has served its purpose but its come to an end. The computer chip insert
some are calling for we felt is coming. So you can see, Reg is still very much alive.
UPDATE - Sept 10, 2010:
"Busty Taylor and I are in touch with Reg and Brenda in Spain where Reg is in recovery.
He is progressing slowly and is very touched by the many get well messages from his friends and fans.
He is aware of the coverage his illness is receiving and the particular support from his home town of
Andover in Hampshire, England.
Bren as usual is doing all she can - that at the moment is mainly looking after Reg and covering media
phone calls.
I spoke today with their daughter Karen who was with them when Reg fell ill and had to leave for UK the
following day but today flew back to Spain to be with them.
I spoke with Reg very briefly who is in good spirits. I asked him if he could relay my cell phone number
to Bren in case he needed me the next few days while I am out of my office. As is the way with Reg, he
said "Which prison cell they put you in then Col?". I forgot in UK I should have said mobile.
He told me that after he is well enough to travel back to England, he has to have an MRI and a new and
complete medical assessment. I was so pleased to hear a brighter and faster delivery in his voice today.
They do need space to give full attention to Reg. Our mutual friend Busty Taylor is covering what he
can for the family back in Andover.
UPDATE - Sept 7, 2010:
I spoke to Brenda tonight and sent the best wishes of their local newspaper The Andover Advertiser and
the good wishes from messages sent to the newspaper's website. Bren said Reg was very tired today
but that his face feels a bit better.

Troggs singer Reg Presley
recovers after suffering a stroke
10:59am Monday 6th September 2010
HAMPSHIRE’S sixties pop icon Reg Presley
is recovering in Spain after suffering a stroke.
It is reported that the 68-year-old singer was
playing with his grandchildren on holiday
when he had to be taken to hospital in
Malaga.
He is said to be recuperating but is not
expected to return to the United Kingdom for
a while.
Andover-born Reg, who is also a songwriter,
turned The Troggs into one of the most
successful bands of the sixties with hits
including Wild Thing, Love is All Around and
With a Girl Like You.
The band has sold millions of records
around the world and were part of the British
invasion which took the charts by storm in
America.
The Troggs are still one of the most popular
bands on the rock ‘n’ roll revival circuit and
earlier this year they headlined The Solid
Silver 60s’ 25th Anniversay Show at The
Mayflower, Southampton.
Reg, who has always had a great rapport
with his fans, had them dancing in the aisles
as he invited the audience to be wild things –
the title of the band’s famous sixties anthem.
As well as being a pop star Reg is also
famous for his research into crop circles.

Latest update on Reg's Condition - Oct 2, 2011:
I spoke with Reg yesterday from Spain where he is doing some relaxing along with his wife Brenda.
He was very touched by Paul's get well message and asked I thank him so very much along with the many
fans and friends messages he continues to receive.
Anyone who knows Reg will be aware that he enjoys his food and so it has come very hard indeed to have
continued not to be able to taste or smell since the event. He is also still suffering from some tingling
sensations around his top lip and ends of some fingers. As a result of his loss of interest in food he has lost
weight.
He will be flying back to his home in Andover in a few days.
Being Reg he has performed several gigs since his stroke.

My good friend Reg Presley, lead singer of the pop band The Troggs (Wild Thing etc) has
announced his retirement from the band.
Reg has hit a brick wall with health problems during the last two years and following recent tests was
found to be suffering from lung cancer. Its with profound sadness that this day has arrived for the
thousands like myself who have enjoyed a good old 60s show like few around could pull off, as well
as being a good friend who has for years been at the center of our site work and UFO sky watches
(below) and the rest.
Reg's incredible performances will be missed as the pop legend hangs up his gloves. Synthia and I
send our love to Reg, Bren and the family and offer our full unconditional support for the courage to
tackle these health issues. Reg is the one guy who can beat this, if anyone can.
