BANG Tango singer Joey LeSte has suffered a stroke at aged 58 and is currently recovering.
LeSte, whose band is famous for such songs as “Breaking Up A Heart Of Stone” and “Someone Like You”, broke the news to fans on social media.
“Hey Peeps- My blood pressure medicine failed me last week and I had a stroke,” he wrote.
“I am currently in a rehabilitation hospital working on getting better. And if you know me, you know- DON’T COUNT ME OUT!!!!”
LeSte’s location is Arizona. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist in medical costs.
On it, his wife Jessica McElyea-LeSte writes: “I am hoping the rock community can band together and provide a little help by donating or by sharing this link.
“You may not know, but Joe suffered a stroke on the morning of August 10th. Joe was not feeling well and It was obvious to me that something was very wrong.
“He was rushed to HonorHealth Deer Valley hospital here in Phoenix where he spent five days in the cardiac unit. Joe has battled hypertension for 30 years and to manage it, he takes daily blood pressure medicine.
“Thankfully Joe’s blood pressure has since been stabilized with new medication. Joe is currently in a rehabilitation hospital working on getting better. At this time it is unknown how long his recovery will take.
“All funds raised will be used to cover the medical expenses incurred from Joe’s medical care and recovery.
“Although we have medical insurance, we have a very high deductible and there will be expenses that insurance won’t adequately cover.”
Hot Metal wishes Joe a speedy recovery.
