KIX Drummer Jimmy Chalfant Recovering After Collapsing On Stage

KIX was performing in Leesburg, Virginia last night. Toward the end of the show, drummer Jimmy Chalfant collapsed and emergency services were called. Jimmy has had a heart attack before but it isn't clear what happened to him last night during the show (the band says it was a cardiac event, but maybe not a heart attack).

KIX touring guitarist Bob Pare posted on Facebook that Jimmy was doing much better overnight thanks to medical care. I know you all join me in wishing Jimmy a full recovery. We love KIX around these parts!

Here's a Facebook post Bob shared:

KIX did release an official statement that says basically what Bob posted above. Here's the statement the band issued to Blabbermouth and you can read more by clicking on the Tweet below:

"KIX drummer Jimmy Chalfant is awake, alert, resting comfortably and in good spirits in the hospital after collapsing towards the end of their performance at the Tally-Ho Theater in Leesburg, Virginia on night one of a two nights stint. While clearly a cardiac event, it is unknown at this time whether or not Jimmy actually suffered a heart attack. Jimmy will be undergoing a series of tests to determine exactly what in fact occurred. The second performance scheduled for this evening (Saturday Nov 19th) is understandably postponed with a makeup date pending the prognosis of Jimmy's condition. KIX appreciates the outpouring of love and concern for Jimmy and thank everyone for their courteous understanding in the matter."
