“Well, it has been a devastating week. Jello is making progress, but he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Cognitively, he is as sharp as ever, but he is suffering a bit with the left side of his body not cooperating. His fighting spirit is a blessing right now. Sorry, we haven’t responded yet to all your texts and calls. It is hard for him to text, so I am replying to people. It has just been so intense and chaotic that it is taking a while. Soooooooo many people reaching out. I can give updates on this page if you like. He is appreciating the outpouring of love and support. It definitely lifts his spirits. Message me if needed. If you are planning to come visit, tell me. We have to space it out. He gets very tired very fast. Much love. Anne-Marie,” the post reads.
The comment section was filled with well-wishes and messages of love, support and encouragement for the musician as he continues his recovery.
“This country needs Jello now, more than ever,” one wrote.
“Get well soon, Jello!! Your music has been inspirational and it’s helped me look around and see what’s going on in the world,” another commenter said.
“Tell him we love him and that we hope for a speedy recovery!! The Dead Kennedys were one of the first punk bands I ever listened to; they have a special place in my heart,” a follower added.
The 67-year-old frontman had a medical emergency caused by high blood pressure.
In a statement posted by Alternative Tentacles on Instagram, he recalled the incident, explaining that his left leg gave out, causing him to collapse and fall.

Biafra faces a tough recovery, but with his family, his fighting spirit and the support of fans, the rock icon is taking each step forward one day at a time.
