laughedatbytime Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Longtime Primus drummer Tim Alexander has suffered a heart attack, and will have open-heart surgery at the beginning of next week, according to bandmates. Alexander, now in his third stint with Primus, has also appeared on two studio efforts and an EP with Puscifer, who confirmed the news via Facebook: Alexander was also with Primus from 1988-96 and again from 2003-09, contributing to a total of seven albums — including their best-known early ’90s projects, ‘Sailing the Seas of Cheese’ and ‘Pork Soda.’ He rejoined the Les Claypool-fronted group in 2013, and appeared on the hit ‘The Hollow’ by A Perfect Circle, a group also fronted by Maynard James Keenan of Puscifer and Tool.Ultimate Classic Rock sends our best wishes to Alexander, both for a successful operation and a speedy recovery Read More: Primus Drummer Tim Alexander Suffers Heart Attack | http://ultimateclassicrock.com/primus-drummer-heart-attack/?trackback=tsmclip Get well soon!

Del_Duio Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I heard about this yesterday and I'm so bummed out. I am a huge Primus fan and Herb's playing in particular. It sucks to see your favorites growing up showing signs that we're all mortals afterall and are getting older. Les' post about this was really heartfelt, it's great to see they're still so close after everything they've been through over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
