Guitarist Jason Becker said that he thought he was on his “way out” following several “scary health issues.”
The guitarist posted the following statement on his social media page:
“Hey everyone,
“I am finally starting to feel like myself again, after many months of scary health issues, and thinking I was on my way out.
“Once again, thank you all for your prayers and well-wishes; I honestly feel that energy and I’m very grateful. It feels so good to know you are out there and your kindness and support brings tears to my eyes.
“How can I possibly thank Herman Li, Nayla, Colleen, Stephen, Amy, and all the musicians who got together and donated their time and guitars and put their hearts into their music, all for my benefit? Your loving words and gestures are humbling & I am honored. Thank you all. I am blessed beyond belief for each and every one of you.
“I am hoping to be able to check in on the computer and try to keep up with everything as much as my energy will allow me, and I hope to get back to music, in some form, as much as I can.
“I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. My family and I could not have gotten this far without you all.”
Hey everyone,
I am finally starting to feel like myself again, after many months of scary health issues, and thinking I was on my way out. Once again, thank you all for your prayers and well-wishes; I honestly feel that energy and I'm very grateful.-1- pic.twitter.com/b2QTrCoxxU
