Wayne Lineker update shows the Ibiza beach club owner is recovering from severe pneumonia. The 63-year-old fell seriously ill during a flight two weeks ago, forcing him to seek urgent medical attention. At first, he believed he had Covid and feared a heart attack. Doctors later diagnosed him with pneumonia, a lung infection that inflames the air sacs and makes breathing difficult.
On Instagram, Wayne Lineker update shared the frightening experience. He said, “Two weeks ago I caught a flight from Mauritius to Dubai for an anniversary party. On that flight, I believe I caught a very bad infection.” He added, “I thought it was Covid, and it completely knocked me out. I just wanted to get home.”
Wayne Lineker update recalled the moment his condition worsened. “At 3 a.m., I woke from my bed and could not walk,” he said. “I thought I was having a heart attack, so I called my daughter Tia. She panicked and called her mother. Then, she brought me to the hospital in an ambulance.”
He spent ten days in intensive care before doctors moved him to a respiratory ward. Now, he feels confident enough to update friends and followers on his recovery. Despite leaving the danger zone, he cannot walk and faces two months of rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Wayne emphasized that pneumonia at his age remains extremely dangerous.
Meanwhile, his brother Gary Lineker continues his media career. The former England striker will join Netflix to host a livestream of next year’s World Cup. His show, The Rest Is Football, previously streamed on YouTube and BBC Sounds. Gary left the BBC after posting a controversial social media image, which triggered widespread criticism.
Sources say Netflix considers the show an exciting new project. The deal will provide Gary with a major payday and allow him to cover the World Cup in a new capacity. Additionally, he will host an ITV quiz show, The Box, featuring celebrity contestants in unknown locations.
