Myles’ horrific accident occurred on Thursday last week, during which he broke two ribs and ruptured his spleen and he has now revealed he remains in intensive care nearly a week later following what he revealed was ‘far too close to death’.
In the video, Myles said: ‘I was involved in a snowboarding accident about a week ago which resulted in me rupturing my spleen breaking, broken ribs and having internal bleeding. This resulted in blood in my lungs.
‘That’s why I haven’t been on social media. I took a turn for the worst I couldn’t function much and the last thing was from my mum. I’m getting better. I’m still in intensive care. Still got a lot of wires stuck to me.
‘That’s meds going straight to my jugular artery. That noise is they operated they put an incision through my rib cage just above my lungs made a puncture and just over three days or two days.

‘It’s drained 950ml of blood which apparently a lot of blood to be in your lungs but we’re good. This is a quick message to say thank you to everyone messaging. I’ve been told everyone’s been asking about me.
‘I’m [going to] get better and love life man because I came too close to death. If I didn’t listen to my mum… Thank god for listening to her and going to hospital who knows what would’ve happened and that took 12 hours.
‘Moral of the story… listen to people who know more than you and if you have a gut instinct, follow it. Just tuning in to tell you I love you and peace’.

In Myles’ mum’s announcement last week, she revealed he has suffered a setback in his recovery after the horrific snowboarding accident.

His mum shared the message on an Instagram story that read: ‘Myles has had a bit of a setback today. He has a heamothorax and needed a chest drain. He is still thinking of you all and still getting grumpy with his mummy.’
Shortly after the accident on Thursday the singer took to Instagram from his hospital bed in ICU to tell fans he had been suffering internal bleeding which had been stopped.
Detailing what happened as he rested in hospital, with tubes still attached to his face and body, he said: ‘Hey whats up people, look a bit worse for wear don’t I?
‘Thank you for your messages, basically, as you know, I broke a few ribs, I’ve ruptured my spleen, and have some internal bleeding that has stopped now, I’m just chilling out in ICU, its like a 5 star ICU it’s amazing.
‘Thank you for all the messages, and my mum and the rest of my family are getting through this day in and day out, always tell your loved ones you love them, peace.’
