Jack Russell, lead singer of the multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated rock band GREAT WHITE, is recovering from major surgery after suffering a perforated bowel (a medical emergency in which a hole in the bowel opens to allow its contents to empty into the rest of the abdominal cavity). The surgery left Russell with a colostomy bag. Doctors are confident that this procedure is temporary. Russell remains hospitalized in Southern California, and his condition is improving.

"It was touch-and-go for about 48 hours whether or not he was going to live," manager Obi Steinman said. "He's been in the hospital for several days, and he's doing a lot better."

Russell is the singer behind such hits as "Once Bitten Twice Shy", "Rock Me", "Angel" and "Save All Your Love". He faces another operation, but he was in good spirits today. "I've felt better, but I've felt a hell of a lot worse," he said in a statement. "Nothing is going to keep me down. This whole thing definitely makes me appreciate life more than I ever have."

Russell is expected to recover in six to eight weeks.

Singer Terry Ilous of XYZ has stepped in to replace Russell on lead vocals.

Arguing with someone over the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Dang-it. this is the 2nd thread I've started in a week that I can't seem to type and spell at the same time.

I noticed it last night but decided to let you off easy. I heard about this last week also. Scary stuff. It happened to a guy I work with who's just 35 last fall.

I found this update on another board

"I just saw on Face Book a few messages saying that Jack Russell is really not very well and in need of some prayers. Not sure what the story is but I do hope things work out. "
