The Kinks founder member Dave Davies will have to spend another month in hospital as he recovers from a stroke.

The You Really Got Me guitarist, 57, collapsed on 30 June in London following radio interviews with British DJs Danny Baker and Phil Jupitus to promote his solo material.

His spokesman Alan Robinson says: "He is paralysed on the right-hand side of his body, but he retains some feeling and he can still hold a guitar plectrum.

"These small things mean a hell of a lot. They're small but very important.

"Dave is taking his illness with typical good humour, and with a positive demeanour."

His representative believes Davies should recover after a course of physiotherapy.
