A singer with a Scottish boyband thought he was having a heart attack when he lost consciousness at 37,000 feet flying from London to Glasgow. Little did he know he'd passed out from heat exhaustion - having dressed himself in six t-shirts, four jumpers, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging bottoms, a pair of jackets and two hats.
Jim McElvar of 'Scotland's first ever boyband' Rewind was told he was carrying too much luggage - a rucksack and small suitcase - when he go to the gate at Stansted on Wednesday.
His only options were to fork out £45 for excess baggage, bin his threads, or wear them all. He opted for the latter, and promptly put on 12 layers of clothing.
As the Daily Mail so brilliantly puts it, "Three hours later, he was in an ambulance."
The 19-year-old told Mail Online,
The woman told me either one of my bags went in the hold or we weren't getting on.
The rest of the band had gone through so I couldn't give them any of my clothes. I felt it was my only option to put on everything.It was impossible to walk, I could barely get on the plane. I wanted to take them all off as soon as I got to my seat - beside which was a spare seat that I could have sat one of my bags on - but was told I had to wait until we were up in the air.
Without any sick bags on board, Jim was given a transparent bin bag in case he felt the urge to puke.
He then violently pro-vommed, according to the Mail, "somehow missing the plastic bag."
On their outbound journey to London not 24 hours previous, the car Jim's Band Rewind were travelling in was written off after plunging into a ditch near the Scottish town of Erskine.
Jim said:
We're playing in Manchester tonight, this time going by train. We'll see how that goes.
What a guy.
