This was posted on NuSkoolBreaks but I thought some people here might be interested...

Dear Friends of ‘Trouble’, Paul, ‘Kentucky’ or other affectionate terms…
Our dear friend, legend, drinking partner, DJ celebrity & promoter extraordinaire, has been taken unwell.
As of last week Paul Arnold has been diagnosed with Leukemia.
As far as cancer of the blood goes, Paul is very fortunate that he has the treatable version and he is already proving resilient to strong drugs (no surprises there!).
Paul has been admitted to hospital for a course of Chemotherapy, where he will probably remain for the next few months to recover and beat his cancer, which of course he shall.
This comes as a tragic shock to everyone who knows him, but in true Paul style, it is not getting him down.
Business goes on as usual and all general enquiries for Fat! Records should be referred to Alexei – alex@thefatclub.com. All enquiries re: artist bookings, Chew The Fat! @ The End, other club dates & the Agency as a whole should be directed to Rory - rory@thefatclub.com.
Offers of assistance are very welcome & we really appreciate all the extra help and support we have received over the past week or so in promoting our NYE party.
Paul faces a very serious illness, but does so with the same grin, charm and optimism that he does with every challenge he ever faced. With his friends and colleagues behind him, he remains unbeatable.
He wants you to know he is looking forward to getting well and being back amongst us soon.
With Much Love
Rory, Alexei, Saleem, Antonia & the rest of the Fat! team.
