DJ Marcelle is taking a hiatus from DJing after suffering a heart attack last week.
The Dutch DJ told Resident Advisor that she wasn’t aware she’d had a heart attack, which happened while she was playing tennis, until she looked up her symptoms online hours later. She was subsequently taken to hospital.
While initial treatment helped stabilise her condition, further conditions revealed that a number of arteries were affected, so she will undergo open-heart bypass surgery in the coming weeks.
DJ Marcelle said she expects to take a few months out from DJing, and said she had felt “totally fit”. Speaking to Resident Advisor, she added: “At least this happened in Amsterdam and not when I was on a plane or something. And the medical system in the Netherlands is good.”
