Update on Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J Being Hospitalized
Insane Clown Posse have shared some news about Violent J’s recent hospitalization.
“We just wanted to briefly address some rumors you might have heard recently regarding our big homie Violent J… A few weeks ago The Duke was experiencing shortness of breath and went to the emergency room expecting there was an issue with his AFib. The good news is his heart is perfectly fine and healthy. The bad news is, Violent J had pneumonia,” the band stated on Twitter.
“But have no fear, he’s currently doing really well, and his doctors said he should be able to go home in the next two to three days. He’s feeling better and better with each passing day and right now just soaking in all the much-needed rest and relaxation while enjoying the company of his family,” they continued. “Sometimes it just takes a little pneumonia to remind you to slow down and enjoy the little things.”
It’s good to hear he’s doing so well. Because of Violent J being in the hospital, Insane Clown Posse’s upcoming EP, Pug Ugly the Stink Bug, has been pushed back. A new release date is pending. Last summer, ICP announced that Violent J had been suffering from heart failure. They also said they would be announcing a farewell tour, with one-off shows happening for the foreseeable future.
