Attention All Rock Fans: Our very good friend Dick Wagner is not feeling very well right now. The following is a news article from on line: The long list of health woes that Dick Wagner has had to fight his way back from is now one medical crisis larger: the songwriter and guitarist is currently recovering in the hospital after undergoing a new round of heart surgery. Wagner, whose best-known work includes a string of co-writes and guitar credits for Alice Cooper, sought medical care last week after suffering from breathing problems. Classic Rock Magazine reports that the problem was alleviated after doctors cleared blockage in one of Wagner’s arteries, but he suffered further complications after developing a lung infection. “Prayers are welcome right about now,” said Wagner’s son Robert in a quote included in the Classic Rock post. “My dad is still in the hospital with a deep lung infection. Tomorrow they will ‘wash’ his lungs. Doesn’t sound fun, but I’m hoping it works and he can breathe again.” As we previously reported, Wagner resumed touring in 2011 after a litany of physical problems — including a heart attack and stroke, as well as kidney failure, a coma, and a near-fatal blood clot — kept him off the road for five years. Until very recently, Wagner was on the road with his Maestro of Rock Band. Here’s hoping he can pull through this latest hospital stay quickly and start feeling like himself again. Dick was so instrumental to the success of our last show. As you may know Dick wrote the original song for our show to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Dick not only wrote the song, but arranged and produced it as well. Close to 60 artists came together in the studio to be a part of this very special event and to add their talents to Mr. Wagner’s to help the children. I was blessed, WE were blessed to have Dick be a part of the event and now I ask that blessings be made on his behalf. Please send positive thoughts, love and prayers to Dick, his family and his dear friend Susan. If you would like to show your support to Dick and for St Jude watch the video and download the wonderful song he wrote for the kids: rockersforstjude Rock On my friends! Corky
