As you may or may not know Jani Lane has agreed to step in for Jack Russell for the rest of GR's shows this year..............The opening act that night.....Warrant with Robert Mason....this may end bad.
Wow! I'd love to see Jani Lane sing, but I didn't even realize he was out of jail yet. I had planned on seeing them in Fort Smith a few weeks ago, but skipped it not knowing if Jack would make it. Turns out he didn't, and Terry Illous filled in again. They are saying the band is scheduled to come back for a free make-up gig in October. Hmm...
I thought it was probably his back surgery issues, but now there's something else... dang, he's falling apart!
Melissa Kucirek, a publicist for Great White, stated in an e-mail that Russell suffered a "perforated bowel and underwent major surgery." Russell's doctors expect him to make a recovery in six or eight weeks, she said.
