Kyle Sandilands has shared a worrying update after being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.

The radio star, 53, revealed on his KIIS FM show on Friday, the surgeon has told him the only option to get to the aneurysm, located at the front right side of my brain, is to open his skull.

He also revealed he needs to have a second surgery to remove another aneurysm which has been found in his chest.

‘The [brain] aneurysm is at a Y junction and it is at the top. The shape of it has limited the operation they can do. The only option to get to it so for them to [open the skull],’ he told co-host Jackie O Henderson.

‘That will mean I have this huge scar from the forehead to top of ear and they would have to drill a hole in my skull and then go into the brain and clip it off.’

Kyle revealed the doctor told him he will have less problems ‘leaving it and monitoring it and if it gets bigger than we do what we have to do.’

‘As soon as I do any procedure my risk goes right up. He told me to take the weekend to think about it,’ he continued.

‘But they found another one in my chest and that’s a seperate surgery and I have very bad calcium buildup in the heart where I’m likely to have a heart attack.’

Kyle made the bombshell admission he has a brain aneurysm and requires immediate emergency brain surgery on Monday.

‘On Friday, I was told by my medical team – which sounds like I’m already very sick, that I have a brain aneurysm. It requires immediate attention, brain surgery,’ he said.

‘My doctor said if I didn’t get it checked, I would have died. A life of cocaine abuse and partying are not the way to go!’

He then cracked a joke about the show’s lower ratings in Melbourne.

‘If you just tuned in to us after all these years, lap it up. And if you’re in Melbourne… you’re coming to the party too late. You may get your wish. I may be dead.’ he quipped.

Co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson said: ‘Let’s think positive.’

‘That doesn’t work in real life,’ Kyle responded.

The presenter then explained his condition on air.

‘It’s not a blockage. It’s like, imagine your blood vessel is the garden hose, and the hose is weak and it blisters out like a big bubble, like a puncture in it. It’s like a bike tyre with a big bubble – that bubble’s the aneurysm, so it’s not blocked,’ he said.

‘It’s expanded and if it bursts, (I will become) either a vegetable, in the wheelchair, or dead.’

He revealed his doctor had banned him from doing cocaine, having sex, masturbating, heavy lifting and becoming stressed.
