I feel for the guy, hope he can get back to it. We are all fragile.

My husband John Blackwell Jr. was admitted to the hospital because of a small episode of seizures. The situation in controlled and after a week, he was moved to the Rehabilitation building, where he is getting intensive physical and occupational therapies every day to get his movements back.

John and I would like to thank everybody for their support, prayers and donations, and for the love you show us with every word or message we receive.

John is determined to walk and be able to grab the sticks and hit the drums very soon, with God's will, this is going to happen.

Thank you,

Yaritza

Some good news for John Blackwell! Here is the update from his wife Yaritza.

"John was moved out of ICU to a step down unit. Thanks God! Every advance is a victory." Yaritza

He and his family is still in need of support if you are able to give. Thanks to all that have contributed thus far, and than you all for the prayers.

Bad news folks. John Blackwell has passed away. R.I.P.

[Rodge]

So sad, my stomac hurt big time, he was so young, come on, he was born in 73, come on... :'(

He plays great here, what a pocket.

Rest in Peace John, thank you.

Wow. Sad news indeed. Fuck, we´re all so fragile...

I always liked his playing on this.

Super talented drummer - I really like the authoritative nature of his groove. It says HERE it is. HERE. No question. Indeed we are fragile.
