Primus drummer Tim Alexander suffers heart attack
When I was a young pup, I was a huge Primus fan. I haven't listened to them in many years (save for breaking out Frizzle Fry every so often), but drummer Tim Alexander remains one of my favorite drummers. So I was bummed this morning to find out that the 49 year-old Alexander apparently suffered a heart attack this week and is scheduled for open heart surgery in a few days. The news comes courtesy of Puscifer (via ThePRP), with whom Alexander has previously collaborated:
I sincerely hope that all goes well.
"Calling All Cars! Rough news. Tim Alexander suffered a heart attack. Open Heart Surgery on Mon/Tues. Global Positive Thoughts, Por favor. @Puscifer We need our Herb the Ginseng Drummer aka Peter Merkin alive and thieving."
I sincerely hope that all goes well.
