Post Reply - King's X Appreciation Thread

King�s X drummer Jerry Gaskill suffered a heart attack Saturday night (Feb. 25). Fortunately, the group reports that he is in stable condition following surgery at an unknown hospital.

Gaskill�s bandmate, bassist Doug �Dug� Pinnick reported the news on his Facebook page Sunday afternoon: �Jerry had a heart attack last night. He was operated on and is in stable condition at the hospital. We�re all waiting for more info. I will keep you posted.�

Early this morning (Feb. 27), it appears Gaskill is recovering well based on another Pinnick post that revealed his bandmate �woke up pulling cords out� and feeling �feisty.�

Gaskill, Pinnick and guitarist Ty Tabor have been performing together for over 30 years in King�s X. The group has released 12 studio albums, the most recent being 2008′s �XV.� The band has a spring U.S. tour scheduled to kick off on March 28 in Austin, Texas. It is unknown if those plans will be changed by Gaskill�s recovery, which we hope is speedy and complete.

Fans can send their support to Gaskill via his official Facebook page. A note posted there yesterday reads,� On behalf of Jerry and his family�Thank you for the get well wishes and prayers.�
