Just saw a picture of him recently and man, the guy has shed some weight! Good for him. I myself am trying to get healthier and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Good Job Mr. Jackson!  Before:

It's great to see him lose some weight again. The longer he lives, the more great music he can make. |

Long and Healthy, AJ!

| | | | Somehow I feel it's not really our job here to speculate about if someone has had weight-loss surgery or not.
He's a magnificent player and that's enough for me. I really hope he stays healthy and keeps on playing. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
