Martin Sorrell is "making an excellent recovery" after undergoing keyhole surgery at a London hospital.
The S4 Capital executive chairman and WPP founder, who turns 78 on 14 February, underwent an operation on Sunday (5 February) night.
In a statement issued to the stock market, S4 said that the operation had been a success.
The statement continued with a personal note from Sorrell addressing "all S4 Monks" – a reference to S4's MediaMonks – with an update on his convalescence. "I want to let you know that I had successful keyhole surgery last night. I am making an excellent recovery, and I expect to be in hospital for a few more days and make a full and rapid recovery from the surgery, thereafter. During this period, S4 will run as usual, and I will continue to be actively engaged.
"I remain in contact with the board and the senior management team in all the usual ways and thank them for their support."
