Milo Yiannopoulos has announced he will continue his campus speaking tour, despite doctors investigating a possible brain tumor.

The 41-year-old writer and commentator revealed the health scare in a post on X on October 18, telling followers that doctors had found “a dark spot, black as sin” on his MRI. Yiannopoulos said he had been experiencing “monstrous headaches,” fainting spells, and blurred vision.

 

Yiannopoulos added that while the diagnosis was not yet confirmed, he planned to undergo another MRI and see a specialist in the coming days. “Something is in there that shouldn’t be,” he said, before asking supporters to pray that “Our Lord… spirit this thing away, so I can get back to work, like I promised.”

The self-described provocateur, who first rose to prominence in the mid-2010s as a Breitbart editor and college speaker, announced last month that he would return to the stage following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. His post on X declaring, “Alright. I am un-retiring,” came just hours after Kirk was shot and killed.
