Thomas D. needs to be hospitalized with possible sepsis.
Thomas D gets stung by an insect and is initially in good spirits. Then, suddenly, the rapper of the Fantastic Four checks into the emergency room and reports a possible sepsis. This is bad news for his second project, The KBCS.
This misfortune comes at the worst possible time: In the middle of his ongoing tour with the Hamburg jazz band The KBCS, Thomas D, rapper of the Fantastic Four, had to go to the emergency room of a clinic on Tuesday. The severity of the situation was initially unclear.
Earlier that morning, the musician had shown his fans on Instagram a large bump on his left arm in a short video. At that time, he seemed to be in good humor, commenting on his post, "Below the elbow. Something stung me yesterday. The insect should please get in touch, otherwise I'm really pissed off."
Clinic Update
A few hours later, another video of the rapper followed, this time from the emergency room of a hospital, where he informed his fans that he had been waiting for three hours to see a doctor. After his wait seemed to be over, his latest update followed. In the clip, the musician was seen with a black splint on the affected arm and said, "Fuck me... In an hour, I'll know what I've got. But probably sepsis and an animal that stung the bursa, so we have to immobilize the arm now. Wow..."
Since Thomas D has not provided a final diagnosis after this message, some fans may be getting anxious. A sepsis, commonly known as blood poisoning, is not to be taken lightly. This potentially life-threatening complication occurs in various infectious diseases and arises when the body's own defense reactions to the infection damage its own tissues and organs. Most recently, Til Schweiger had to deal with this after an injury to his leg, and he even faced the threat of amputation.
Whether the story ends more favorably for Thomas D remains to be seen. That he immediately went to the emergency room may have prevented worse. However, it is unlikely that Thomas D will be able to continue his current tour as planned. He has a show scheduled in Jena, Thuringia, on Thursday, with more festival appearances to follow.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, the members of The Fantastic Four decided to keep the entertainment at their scheduled shows engaging. However, Thomas D's absence due to his health concerns significantly impacted the group's performance dynamics.
