At the time of his diagnosis, he was just 29-years-old and has spoken on his condition, saying: "The average age of a Parkinson's diagnosis is 58.

"So I had a whole lifetime to reach to the point where I would normally be diagnosed."

Talking of his reaction to being diagnosed, he continued: "My first reaction to the diagnosis was to double up on my drinking and that worked not at all.

"So then two years into my diagnosis I quit drinking and then I started to see things more clearly I started to see what IU hadn't accepted that I had Parkinson's and learn about Parkinson's and learn about what it meant to my family."
