King's X Drummer, Jerry Gaskill, Suffers Heart Attack

[Hollywood]

Sad news, but Jerry Gaskill has suffered a heart attack. He is in stable condition after surgery.

Long my favorite band and I was going to see a number of shows this year. They are a magical band. Get better Jerry!

[AR]

WOW. Hope he is ok. Saw Kings X several times, most notably opening for Robert Plant and Ronnie James Dio. Be well.

[brywool]

This indeed sucks. Greatest band nobody knows.

[verslibre]

Been listening to King's X since '90. Get better, Jerry. Lots of rest.

Jerry is still in the ICU with Pneumonia and another lung issue. He is sedated and on a ventilator.

Molken Music, King's X side project and merch company, is offering a download of an exclusive King's X show from 1991 to help raise money for Jerry's medical expenses. Here is the link and info.

"Burning Down Boston: Live at The Channel 6.12.91" is a special MP3 download-only title. As many of you are aware, King's X drummer Jerry Gaskill suffered a serious heart attack in the early morning hours on Sunday 2.26.12. Many of you have overwhelmingly expressed a desire to help and contribute. We have compiled this exclusive live release from the archives -- and 100% of the proceeds from this release will go directly to Jerry to help offset mounting medical expenses. A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone for the outpouring of concern and love.

This release was edited and mastered from a stereo FOH recording. While the audio is far from perfect sonically, the performance documents yet another magical night on tour while supporting the "Faith Hope Love" album. While many of the song titles are familiar, the band expands many of the cuts featured here, including performances that are blistering ("Moanjam"),heavy and funk-laden ("We Are Finding Who We Are"), beautiful ("The Burning Down"), and truly transcendental ("Over My Head").

A few songs from the show were omitted due to tape damage. However, we have included three bonus tracks (an additional 15 minutes) from the same show that were not presented in the main track listing.

All recordings previously unreleased.
14 songs. 89 minutes.

Dear Friends, in addition to the gift with this download, please let anyone who wants to further make a personal gift to Jerry to help him with his medical bills know that they can send a check made out to Jerry Gaskill. Mail it to: Jerry Gaskill, c/o World Entertainment Inc., P.O. Box 3095, Sea Bright, NJ 07760. 100% of your gift goes to Jerry Gaskill to help him defray his medical bills. Jerry Gaskill is an individual and not a charity. Any funds given to him would be a gift and no further tax deduction for charitable contributions would be coming from him. We appreciate your help.

i had heard it was a stroke, not a heart attack, can anyone confirm?

The above is a press release from the Band's Record Company and all reports directly from the band have stated heart attack.

Saw Kings X open for Rush 'bout 20 or so years ago think it might've been the Roll The Bones tour but i could be wrong.
