As previously reported, drummer Jerry Gaskill (King's X, Gunfire N Sodomy) suffered a heart attack on February 25, 2012, and was rushed to a hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. While he is still on life support, he is fighting his way out of his current condition. Last night, we had the chance to chat with his bandmate Don Jamieson (That Metal Show) and here is what he had to say about Jerry's condition:
"Jerry is a fighter man! I truly believe that it isn't his time to go... I have visited him a few times, and while he is still on life support and heavily sedated, he reacts to my jokes and keeps moving his feet as if he is playing double bass. I keep telling him that he doesn't even play double bass! The doctor's told me to be myself, because that's what you are suppose to do since when a person is in that condition you don't want to freak them out since they have no idea what happened to them. His wife was with him when he suffered the heart attack, she is his angel! I have no doubt that Jerry will get out of it, he is a fighter! Whither he will be able to play music again, who knows? But who cares?! What matters is that he is with us for years to come healthy and strong"!
Please keep sending your positive thoughts and prayers to Jerry and his family!
