Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra hospitalized after hemorrhagic stroke
Punk legend Jello Biafra has been hospitalized after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke due to high blood pressure. The former frontman of Dead Kennedys, 67, recounted the moments after a blood vessel burst in his brain in a Saturday social media post shared by Alternative Tentacles, the record label that Biafra co-founded. “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,” Biafra said in the post shared on Monday. “I couldn’t even break the fall with my left arm because it wasn’t working either. I tried to hop back up again, and I couldn’t. I realized I had ‘fallen and I can’t get up!’” He continued, “It was this point I thought, ‘Oh s***, I’m having a stroke!’ I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I gotta lotta of rehabbing to do.” The singer is currently hospitalized but stable, according to his record label. open image in gallery Former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra …
