Sepp Blatter says the stress of the FIFA corruption scandal caused his collapse
Sepp Blatter has revealed he was "close to death" after collapsing earlier this month.
The 79-year-old, currently suspended from his post as FIFA president, fainted while visiting his parents' grave with family members before being taken to hospital.
"I was very close to death," he said. "I was between the angels singing and the devil with the fire. But it was the angels who sang."
