Earlier this month, word spread like wildfire that Bad Brains guitarist Gary “Dr. Know” Miller was hospitalized and on life support, with colleagues of the musician saying he was “fighting for his life.” Hours later, Bad Brains released a statement confirming that Dr. Know had fallen ill, but provided no additional details on his ailment or what was really going on.
This afternoon, the influential hardcore punk band released another statement, relaying word that Miller’s situation is improving and the musician is no longer on life support.
Here is Bad Brains’ statement:
The Family of Gary (Dr. Know) Miller and the entire Bad Brains family would like to thank everyone for their well wishes. We are happy to say that Dr. Know’s condition is no longer considered critical.
He still remains under the close care and watch of doctors at this time so please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
We continue to ask that you honor our privacy during this time.
Positive vibes and PMA!
More to come as it develops…
