Don't read any further if you're eating lunch. It's a little gross.

Quote :
Jack Russell, lead singer of the multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated rock band GREAT WHITE, is recovering from major surgery after suffering a perforated bowel (a medical emergency in which a hole in the bowel opens to allow its contents to empty into the rest of the abdominal cavity). The surgery left Russell with a colostomy bag. Doctors are confident that this procedure is temporary. Russell remains hospitalized in Southern California, and his condition is improving.

"It was touch-and-go for about 48 hours whether or not he was going to live," manager Obi Steinman said. "He's been in the hospital for several days, and he's doing a lot better."

Russell is the singer behind such hits as "Once Bitten Twice Shy", "Rock Me", "Angel" and "Save All Your Love". He faces another operation, but he was in good spirits today. "I've felt better, but I've felt a hell of a lot worse," he said in a statement. "Nothing is going to keep me down. This whole thing definitely makes me appreciate life more than I ever have."

Russell is expected to recover in six to eight weeks.

Singer Terry Ilous of XYZ has stepped in to replace Russell on lead vocals.

Get well, Mista Bone

Ouch!!

Someone at another forum I hang at just saw Great White in South Dakota about a week ago. She posted pix of Jack Russell performing while sitting in a chair at center stage. She said he told the crowd he was "having back problems." Obviously it was a little more than that!!

That sucks. Hope he recovers quickly.

I was thinking about going to see Great White in a couple weeks, but my real interest was that KIX is opening!

In case anyone wondered what a perforated bowel would do. Ugh. Hope he recovers.

Blabbermouth sez that Jani Lane (!) will fill in for Jack Russell on a bunch of Great White tour dates in the U.S. while Jack recovers... and when GW goes to Sweden for a festival in September, they'll be fronted by Paul Shortino just for the one gig (presumably cuz Jani can't leave the country due to his legal troubles?).

Kinda cool to see Jani and Paul helpin' a brotha out like this.

Jani is lucky since his own band won't take him back. I think Paul is a good fit.

Jani Lane would be good if he can hold it together...they must have figured out that Terry Ilous couldn't sing his way out of a wet paper bag with a hole in it...
