November 21, 2022, a year ago
KIX drummer Jimmy “Chocolate” Chalfant collapsed onstage toward the end of the band's Friday night (November 18) concert at the Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, VA.
A message from the band, dated November 19, states: "KIX drummer Jimmy Chalfant is awake, alert, resting comfortably and in good spirits in the hospital after collapsing towards the end of their performance at the Tally-Ho Theater in Leesburg, Virginia on night one of a two nights stint. While clearly a cardiac event, it is unknown at this time whether or not Jimmy actually suffered a heart attack.
"Jimmy will be undergoing a series of tests to determine exactly what in fact occurred. The second performance scheduled for this evening (Saturday Nov 19th) is understandably postponed with a makeup date pending the prognosis of Jimmy's condition.
"KIX appreciates the outpouring of love and concern for Jimmy and thank everyone for their courteous understanding in the matter."
Back on September 29, 2021, Chalfant suffered a heart attack at his home and was rushed to the hospital. He had immediate surgery to insert two stents in his heart then another surgery the next day for another stent.
Stay tuned for updates on Jimmy's condition.
