Former Dead Kennedys Singer Jello Biafra Suffers Stroke
Jello Biafra, 67, remains hospitalized in stable condition after a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure, leading to cancellation of all upcoming tour dates, his label said.
- Recently, the former Dead Kennedys frontman was hospitalized after a stroke and canceled all tour dates.
- Describing the event, Biafra said, 'I hopped out of my bed because I needed to pee, and my left leg just collapsed under me and I fell to the floor.' The hemorrhagic stroke was caused by high blood pressure, according to medical updates.
- After leaving Dead Kennedys in 1986, Biafra's work includes collaborations with NoMeansNo and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and the band reissued albums behind his back.
- His label confirmed that Biafra is OK and getting needed care, pledging to update fans and touring public as able.
- That history frames how a 1998 lawsuit forced Biafra to pay royalties and hand over rights to the Dead Kennedys back catalogue, despite which he continued collaborating with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard last summer.
