What happened to Timmy Trumpet? Australian DJ cancels shows due to injury

Australian musician Timmy Trumpet was expected to perform during his European dates. However, it now seems that he had to cancel a few shows due to his ankle injury.

On July 23, Timmy shared a photo of himself in a wheelchair. The musician wore an orthopaedic boot on his left foot. The post was captioned:

“Down and out… not exactly what you want mid summer festival season! Regretfully following medical advice I won’t be able to perform this week while I undergo treatment, hoping for a speedy recovery.”

He also wrote:

“I’m so sorry to everyone that was coming to see me. I hate cancelling shows and wish I was partying with you guys so fkn much.”

The carousel also had a meme that joked about his ankle getting twisted. The next photo showed his feet. Another photo showed his feet dipped in an ice bucket.

According to Billboard, Timmy Trumpet was set to perform in Sables on July 24, which now appears to be cancelled. The outlet mentions that Trumpet set a record by becoming the first DJ to perform in zero gravity in 2019. At the time, he said:

“It was like no other experience I’ve ever had before. I expected to be swimming around in the air, like it was water, but you actually have almost no control at all.”

According to The Music Network, Timmy Trumpet explained that in zero gravity, even a slight touch on the wall with a finger could propel one across the room. He said the astronauts tried to prepare them for it, but it was still impossible to describe the feeling.

Timmy Trumpet talks about looking after himself

In 2024, the musician sat down for an interview with EDMTunes, where he shared that he had been playing the trumpet for as long as he could remember.

His father taught him, just like his grandfather taught his father. He said he was fortunate to have inherited such a special instrument. He was grateful for building a career performing with the trumpet all over the world.

According to Timmy Trumpet, his transition into dance music began when he was a teenager. He would jam in his room and play along with songs by Daft Punk on the radio. From there, he kept experimenting. When asked about looking after his mental health, Timmy Trumpet said:

“Be as present as possible in every moment. It’s really demanding, especially with the travel. As I’m doing this interview, it’s my seventh show in nine days across seven different countries, and that can be tough. It’s especially hard on my team, who give everything they’ve got every single day to ensure I can do what I do on stage.”

Timmy Trumpet said that whenever he had free time, he enjoyed spending it with his friends and family. He made sure to eat healthy, go to the gym, and remind the people close to him that he loved them. Feeling their love helped him stay calm and grounded even when life felt busy and chaotic.
