Had mixed emotions seeing the photos.

We heard during the Manchester show from Meat that pretty much exactly at that time Steinman was receiving his honorary doctorate from Amherst. When I saw the photos on Facebook I thought how cool it was that Jim is now Dr. Steinman but at the same time sad to see he was in a wheelchair. I think he was walking ok during the Hall of Fame induction?

Jim confirms during his speech at the college that he'd had a stroke in 2004 and had to re-learn the ability to speak. It's a very interesting speech actually. I recommend those that are interest in his college and musical beginnings to have a listen (it did break up for me a bit audio wise).

Sorry but it's perhaps not the place to be spreading rumours about his health.

(not saying you were Wario as I think you made an honest observation just think we need to be careful and respectful what we post here).
