King's X drummer Jerry Gaskill suffered a heart attack a couple of weeks back. He's recovering, but the going is tough; vocalist/bassist Doug Pinnick's been posting updates fairly regularly on his Facebook page, and when "he's breathing on his own" two weeks after the initial attack is a milestone, you know there's a long, long [...]

Even more impressively [...]
