King's X drummer Jerry Gaskill suffered a heart attack recently and had to undergo emergency surgery, only weeks before the group was to begin touring. Jerry has remained in a hospital ever since and is still having some difficulty with breathing. To help offset the drummer's mounting medical expenses, King's X is now offering an exclusive live recording of a vintage 1991 concert to each person who donates.

'Burning Down Boston: Live at The Channel 6.12.91' is now available for download via Molken Music.

It is an 89-minute, 14-track recording that captures the group while they were still touring in support of their most commercially successful release, 1990's 'Faith Hope Love'The set also includes renditions of such King's X classics as Over My Head and Moanjam, among others.

King's X bassist Doug Pinnick offered the following update about Jerry's condition:

"Saw Jerry and he smiled and gave the thumbs-up. He seemed to recognize everyone and seems on it. Really cool. He is having some difficulty with the breathing, but overall looks sharp. Feel much better about this. Very excited. Just want to share that with you guys."

In addition to purchasing 'Burning Down Boston', anyone who wants to send a donation can mail a check (made out to Jerry Gaskill) to the following address: Jerry Gaskill, c/o World Entertainment Inc., P.O. Box 3095, Sea Bright, NJ 07760.
