Matt Pinfield, a longtime champion for all things rock, metal and beyond, suffered a “massive stroke” earlier this year. TMZ reported that Pinfield’s daughter actually filed for a temporary conservatorship as his situation looked pretty dire.
The Hollywood Reporter, however, has published an update on Pinfield’s health reporting that he’s now out of a coma. Pinfield was apparently unresponsive for two months and on the verge of passing away.
“Guys, I’m alive,” said Pinfield. “I’m recovering and am going to come back swinging. I was unresponsive for two months. Friends were thinking they were coming to see me for the last time. The doctors never expected me to speak or to walk again.”
Pinfield also said that when he woke up, he immediately began talking about music. “My friends said I went on about ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’ and how they couldn’t keep up with what I was saying. They were, like, ‘Yeah, he’s still got that brain.'”
Pinfield continued: “I’m definitely going to take some time to recover. Then I’ll do my radio shows again and get back to work doing what I love, which is to entertain people playing music.”
