Same here with Drudge. Thank God he's recovering and has supportive people with him.

I haven't posted here in many months--haven't read every single thing like I'd normally do. Feeling ground down by life lately and even though I know these low points are temporary this news about Lindsey is a gut punch. I'm grateful he's recovering but this is scary. My brother in law died of a heart attack. He collapsed in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Him and my sig other have a family history of heart disease (their dad died of a heart attack).

I'm praying my ass off LB makes a full recovery---vocals and all.

I hope for his sake they are in touch.

Billy, Rick or Bekka are more likely to send Lindsey well wishes than any of the current incarnation.

I am sorry to hear you have a frail grasp of the world.

First, I would like to wish Lindsey good health and a full recovery. Emergency heart surgery is quick and scary.

Second, Mick, John, Christine, and Stevie are aware of Lindsey's health situation. If they are all in contact with Lindsey for well wishes and such, that is great and could be kept to them.

If they're in contact with him, then why was he fired with a phone call by Azoff?

These people are some cold pieces of work..it is you that seems a bit out of touch.

Should be interesting to see Goat Breath dancing around on stage tomorrow night like nothing has happened. Hope she's happy now. Did she cause this? No Does stress and heartbreak have a HUGE impact on your heart health? YES

Some matters do not require intervention or involvement from Irving Azoff.

The silver spoon that digs graves disagrees with you.

I desperately hope Stevie especially realizes life is too short not to reach out to Lindsey at this time. Even if she doesn't want to work with him again, she should care enough about him to do that. Hopefully dancing around your apartment rejoicing in your own happiness doesn't preclude caring when someone who was once "like a husband" to you almost dies.

The others should reach out to him, too... but she bears a greater responsibility because of the interweaving of their lives for the past 50+ years.

Prayers for Lindsey's recovery.

I was thinking the same thing. When is the next show? I wouldn’t be surprised if she mentioned it or did a dedication.

Seems like our old friend is back under a new name.

Fleetwood Mac is performing in Austin, Texas, Saturday, 9 February.

As Stevie likes to dedicate "Landslide", she can dedicate it to Lindsey.

I hope his vocal chords recover, but mostly I'm grateful he's alive and recovering and is there for his family. What a year they've had. Brightest blessings to all.

Now this is much more helpful than the thinking that being fired caused stress and heart trouble. Too many people- Joondalar for one- are using this for political point scoring, which is disgusting and low.
