Chris Knox stroke


Chris Knox suffers stroke and may not walk again
FRIENDS OF Kiwi music icon Chris Knox say he is now unable to speak and may not walk again after suffering a stroke three days ago. A spokesperson for Knox's family said the 57-year-old had a stroke on Thursday and was recovering at Auckland City Hospital. "We'd just like to say that Chris' partner Barbara Ward and his children John and Leisha are grateful for the support and love they've received, and at the moment everyone's focus is just on Chris and his recovery, and we just ask that people be respectful of that." The spokesperson would not confirm any details about Knox's condition. However, it is understood the medical prognosis was grim.

My best wishes to Chris and his family, it is a sad day for NZ culture and a sadder day for the many people who call Chris friend, myself included. Kia Kaha Chris.

Nicely put, Bomber. At least you didn't pull the old "I found out before everyone else including Mister Knox himself therefore I am not only connected but all damn godly in my prescience" as Russell "Humour Bypass" Brown would lead us to believe in his smug blogsnot posting this morning.
Oh, and it's fairly evident that he and Ralston are duking it out over who will become the rightful heir to the Listener editorship but for fuck's sake, why don't those two tongue lash each other's no no holes in private???

Google lover of love: no entries found.
Hmm.
Perhaps anonymous nobodies aren't really in a position to judge people more successful than them.

You know, sour grapes/ envy/ jealousy and the like.

'Anonymous nobodies'?
Wow - that's real fighting talk from an anonymous douchebag!
Oh, and I just googled 'douchebag'. Apparently, it smells like your breath.
