Billy Connolly warns Parkinson's disease sufferers against showering on trains after 'near death' slip

Billy Connolly opens up about his Parkinson's disease battle in Tracks Across America

Billy Connolly says he almost broke his neck as he struggled with Parkinson’s disease to shower on a train.

The comic, 73, travels through the US by train in a new travel show, Billy Connolly’s Tracks Across America, which starts tomorrow.

Speaking to the camera, he says with a smile: “I tried to take a shower, I thought I must take a shower on a train. But I nearly broke my bloody neck. I was trundling along and skidding around.

“As you probably know, I’ve got Parkinson’s disease. People with Parkinson’s disease should not have showers on trains.

“In much the same way as Vietnam veterans shouldn’t go to firework displays in swamps.”

Billy Connolly's Tracks Across America sees him travelling by train through the US.
