Breaking News: Bret Michaels suffers medical emergency on-stage tonight

May 29, 2014

We just received word through a post on Bret Michael’s Facebook Page that he suffered a medical emergency tonight in Manchester during his set. Here is the post: Breaking News: Message From Pete Evick Regarding Bret Michaels’ Medical Emergency This is a message I never imagined I’d have to post. Tonight in Manchester, NH 3 songs into the set Bret had me sing a song as he rushed off stage. In the 9 years I’ve stood next to him, I’ve never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger. One of the crew returned instantly to notify me that Bret’s blood sugar was extremely low. He returned to the stage only to announce that he could not continue. As you all know he is a health fanatic and fiercely monitors his blood sugar, he basically had to be dragged off the stage in his sickest of conditions. When I rushed to the bus he could barley speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and [Read More]

August 2, 2013

Exactly one month ago, I told you about Motorhead cancelling their European tour dates due to Lemmy Kilmister health issues. One of the tour dates they did not cancel was Waken Open Air Festival and maybe they should have. it is reported that they had to cut the set short due to Lemmy’s health. They had longer pauses between songs and after one long pause, Lemmy came out for another song and never returned. It was reported on Wacken Open Air Festival the following post in German: Mehr als 30 Minuten konnten Motörhead die Black Stage rocken und Lemmy hat alles gegeben um Euch eine geile Show zu liefern. Er ist wohlauf – aber die Temperaturen und Umstände haben dazu geführt, dass einfach nicht mehr ging, ohne dass die Qualität leidet. Wir freuen uns ungemein und sind stolz, dass Phil, Mikkey und insbesondere Mr. Rock n Roll himself, Lemmy Kilmister, 2013 auf dem W:O:A waren und alles Menschenmögliche getan haben, um diese Show zu spielen. Thank you so much, guys! according to Google Translate here it [Read More]

DJ Ashba of Guns n Roses explains why he is back to smoking cigarettes

July 2, 2013

The controversy over Electronic Cigarettes is heating up! For years now, many smokers have switched over to electronic cigarettes or e-cigs as they are called as to what they thought was a safer alternative. I have had my doubts about that but recently received some confirmation. One of my absolute favorite artists, DJ Ashba, lead guitarist for Guns n Roses, recently explained how E-cigs almost cost him his light. He was trying to quit smoking and chose to switch e-cigs which are supposed to give smokers their nicotine fix without the cancer-causing side effects as tobacco. So they don’t have tobacco but did you know that they may have antifreeze or other dangerous chemicals in them, depending on where you buy them?? That is exactly what DJ Ashba explained when he posted a photo on his Instagram of him smoking. One follower asked about him smoking again, since they thought he quit. He replied with the following statement: “I did quit for 9 months. However, I was smoking fake cigarettes that I bought in [Read More]

Lemmy Kilmister, Father of Metal just needs a little more rest

July 2, 2013

Just yesterday we heard about Motorhead having to cancel not just another show but the entire European tour dates due to Lemmy Kilmister’s health. There was quite a flurry of concern as many news sites were reporting, Lemmy’s “failing health”, “Lemmy not looking too good” and other serious concerns. It led to all of us concerned about the future of our Father of Metal!! Earlier this year Lemmy had a defibrilator chest implant installed to treat his irregular heartbeat and assist in regulating him. He also most recently suffered from an unspecified hematoma, which if Lemmy is on any type blood thinners could lead to a more serious problem. Today Lemmy released his own post about the cancellation on his Facebook page. Here is that post: “Regretfully, Motörhead announces it has had to cancel its remaining six summer festival appearances. The band hate to let their fans down by missing any shows, but they expect to be back in full force this Fall. As you may have heard, earlier this Spring Lemmy had some medical maintenance for [Read More]
