Says a close friend of the musician, “For the past two weeks, his blood pressure has been fluctuating erratically and he was advised strict medication and bed rest. Dropping out of the tour at this point would have meant huge losses for the organisers. And so, he has accompanied SRK on the Slam tour.”

Luckily for him, Honey is accompanied by wife Shalini. Says the friend, “He refused to go on the Slam tour without her... thank God for that! Shalini is keeping a close and constant vigil on his health. She’s monitoring his medication and is making sure that he eats and sleeps on time. She’s also attending all his calls.”

Yo Yo is currently in Houston for the first lap of his Slam tour. His worried wife is wondering how he will carry on. But the musician says the show must go on. “And it will,” says the friend.
