Bryan Ferry’s youngest son is fighting for life after a horrific head-on car crash just before Christmas.
Firemen fought for more than 45 minutes to extract Merlin, 24, from the wreckage of his car after the three-vehicle horror smash on a country lane on Monday evening.
His 69-year-old father, Roxy Music legend Bryan, was believed to be at his hospital bedside with the rest of his family yesterday as Merlin remained in a “critical” condition.
The former Marlborough College pupil suffered multiple fractures and a head injury in the crash in Shropshire.
Yesterday, Merlin’s eldest brother Otis said: "He had a head-on collision, has lots of broken bones and is having an operation on his heart as we speak,” the Mail online reported.

Otis also thanked firefighters for freeing his brother from the wreck.
He wrote on Twitter: “Thank you for extracting my brother alive from what looks like a mangled box of tin. We are all continuing to pray.”
The Official Wellington Fire Station account tweeted back: "no problem Otis, we all hope he makes a full recovery and we send our best wishes to you all which must be a difficult time."
