Dead Kennedys Icon Jello Biafra Hospitalized Following Stroke

Legendary former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra has been hospitalized after he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke this past Saturday, March 7th, he revealed.

Biafra shared, "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. 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!'

"It was this point I thought, 'Oh sh*t, I'm having a stroke!' I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I have a lot of rehabbing to do."
