I remember that from her book. It was after his first seizure I believe? She really dragged the band for it. Obviously take her perspective with a grain of salt but she even said Richard Dashut started crying when he realized Mick and others cared more about what was going to happen with the show than about the fact that something could've been seriously wrong with Lindsey.

Wow, can't believe I forgot that! True, I haven't read her book in over a decade, but you'd think I'd remember a story where Lindsey almost died!

I mean I think she kind of exaggerated it, he definitely had a seizure but I don't think that it nearly killed him. She was saying his whole body was convulsing and that he choked on his tongue and his face turned blue from the lack of air but part of me thinks that was probably her exaggerating it. If he was able to play a concert after, even sitting down, it couldn't have been THAT bad.
