Ontario-born music producer/performer deadmau5 (real name Joel Zimmerman) has always played by his own set of rules (for example, speeding around town in his former “Purrari” or getting engaged and then breaking said engagement on Twitter).

WATCH: Rob Ford goes for coffee with deadmau5

His latest stunt falls into that same pattern, though this one might have been more risky. Presenting with a severe lymph node infection, Zimmerman was admitted to hospital on Thursday. (The musician wouldn’t reveal what city the hospital is in.)

so my lymph nodes have swollen up to about the size of golf balls. so much for sleeping tonight :/
