KING'S X Drummer Jerry Gaskill's Bypass Surgery Scheduled For Friday
September 18, 2014, 10 years ago
King's X recently announced that during a scheduled minor procedure, Jerry Gaskill (drums), suffered a heart attack during the post operation recovery, and as a result must undergo double bypass surgery.
An update from King's X states: "The surgeon saw him today, and has scheduled Jerry's bypass for this Friday. Jerry has been resting and recovering from his first surgery this past week and if all continues as planned will have the bypass surgery, Friday. As we get more news and updates we will post them for you."
Due to the circumstances, King’s X had no other choice than to cancel all upcoming shows.
Said the band: "We hope that after Jerry recovers that we will be able to schedule make up shows in the future. Until then, all info and updates will be posted on all King’s X sites, and we will keep you all updated on Jerry’s status."
Gaskill suffered a heart attack in February 2012 but recovered well enough to resume his duties behind the kit. Stay tuned for updates on his condition.
