1. Wow, that's shocking. I guess it's only a matter of time until the band and their outer circle starts suffering these kind of accidents and diseases, they're around or over 60 years old already and they're not getting any younger, so...

    In Beaumont the next morning, Guggi was asked his name, date of birth and the month. Then he was asked it again and again. The same questions, over and over. At 1pm, he was brought to the theatre, where four surgeons were waiting to operate on him. One asked him again: “Guggi, just give me the date and the month please.”

    “It’s January 1996,” he answered.

    The operating theatre fell silent.

    “Then I said: ‘Only messing!’ The four of them cracked up laughing.”

    What a dumb thing to say just because someone suffers health problems doesn't mean his mates of the same age will, a lot of it can be due to lifestyle and medical reasons.

    Off course, it depends on the person, but it's well known that in general the older you get, the bigger the chance to get health problems. So, not a dumb comment at all.
  4. i had exactly the same back in 2006, i know how he feels. unfortunately for me the operation wasn`t a success and i had to have a craniotomy to fix it during which i had a stroke. but i`m still a lot luckier than some.
  5. Are you okay now?
  6. yes thankyou miry, memory is sketchy and i used to play the drums but the stroke affected my left hand side so i don`t have the same control over my hand and foot. but i was just a loud drummer anyway, not very skilled !
