Hi - Chris suffered two seizures on Sunday within a brief period of time. He was taken to Accident & Emergency. Apparently it is common for people that have had strokes to have seizures but of course Chris is also an epileptic (although he hadn't had a seizure for about 20 years). It's very sad as he seemed to be making significant progress & we were starting to feel as if we all had a path forward with Chris' recovery. We are told that no further brain damage has occured but it's a blow for us to see Chris foggy and less capable than he was a week ago. And of course poor Chris feels the shift & that is hard to watch. We're hoping that over the next week Chris will recuperate from the seizures & be back to where he was with his recovery.

On a brighter note, on Saturday night Pearl Jam performed in Auckland & did 'Not Given Lightly' with Neil & Liam Finn to a crowd of 30,000 who sang along. It was by all accounts a very special moment (The YouTube clip has been added to the Knox Box).

Actually it does occur to me that news of 30,000 people singing NGL may have induced the seizures and NGL was, after all, on the album Seizure ......

PS 'Stroke - Songs For Chris Knox' will be back in stores early next week. It takes two coats of ink to obtain the desired effect & it's a bit slow to dry.
