A musician who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) has returned to the stage after artificial intelligence (AI) gave him his voice back.
Patrick Darling, 32, from Bristol, has been a singer and composer since the age of 14 but was diagnosed with the degenerative condition at the age of 29.
He described losing the ability to sing and play instruments as "deeply profound and devastating", stripping him of his "biggest love".
Using digital software developed by ElevenLabs, he has been able to recreate a replica of his singing voice based on recordings from his past performances.
MND is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. It can leave people unable to speak, eat or even breathe.
