Renowned interviewer of celebrities and musicians, and a favourite of Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams, Nardwuar the Human Serviette suffered a stroke on Saturday night at the Mint Records Christmas party in Vancouver.
Currently recovering at Vancouver General Hospital, the news comes from a post on his Twitter that also included a photo of an ambulance’s route away from the venue.
