A mum who suffers crippling seizures every time she hears pop star Ne-Yo's music has undergone surgery to have part of her brain removed.
Fed-up Zoe Fennessy, 26, has an epileptic seizure within seconds of hearing the chart-topper's vocals, making her freeze, vomit and unable to react to the world around her.
The healthcare assistant has to wear earphones whenever she goes shopping just in case the 'Let's Go' singer's tunes are played in stores.
She has been clinically diagnosed with 'musicogenic seizures' which are triggered by the tone of Ne-Yo's voice.
Surgeons removed part of her left frontal lobe in June in a bid to stop the affliction, but it didn't work and baffled medics reckon the mum will have the condition forever.
"I'll be walking around the supermarket doing my food shopping and I have to put my earphones in to listen to my own music just in case it comes on.
"If he ever releases a greatest hits album it's going to be a nightmare."
"Whenever I hear the first few beats of the song I have to drop whatever I am doing and run."
"I have had to go up to DJs in places and say 'look can you not play Ne-Yo' and they just look at me like I'm an alien," said Zoe.
I heard about this a couple of years ago. Not this exact case, but in other scenarios. Honestly, with the variety of people there are in the world, anything could be triggering.
It wasn't until she heard Ne-Yo's first big hit, 'Give Me Everything' featuring Pitbull - which topped the charts in May 2011 - that she had her first music-induced seizure.
A global hit literally ruining someone's life. Poor girl.
OT: The way male artists are flopping nowadays tho . And just even artists in general , its like we just have 5 or 6 very successful acts and the rest are struggling
