sepsis

Billy Porter has pulled out of Broadway musical Cabaret because of "a serious case of sepsis", according to the show's producers.

The Kit Kat Club is closing its Broadway doors early on Sept. 21, as current “Emcee” Billy Porter battles a “serious case of sepsis,” according to the production team.

He went on to make fraudulent claims from two insurance firms, lying that the injuries to his legs were the result of sepsis and not self-inflicted.

He was treated for suspected sepsis before he was told by surgeons that he should have his legs amputated and he was operated on.

Martha Mills, died at King's College Hospital in London after developing sepsis.
