Anthony Jackson Health Status?

I am very worried about Anthony. I have been trying to reach him to do a track on a record with a producer who he previously has played on his solo album We’ve worked together in the past. And had a great relationship. But I’ve tried everything to reach him. I tried calling his phone but it’s not taking incoming calls now. I even left s message with his accountant asking Anthony to call me. But no reply!! I think you’re right They’re Bering extremely quiet about his condition. Maybe that’s good because they expect his health to improve eventually. I could not believe how much weight he lost. I actually preferred him heavy. But I guess that’s not good for his health. Anthony is a fantastic musician. And a kind, sweet, loving man. This producer doesn’t want any other bass player. I’ve suggested many top bass players but he keeps going back to Anthony. My heart and prayers are for my old friend. ❤️

That is truly a touching post. He has a lot of fans like myself rooting for his return. One of the best, ever.
 
Good news everybody!! I heard from Anthony’s manager today. And although he hasn’t worked since his stroke 3 years ago, he is on his way to recovery and has full intentions of playing again. His spirits are high. ❤️❤️❤️

That is excellent news. I saw him with Hiromi shortly before his stroke. It was an excellent concert, but he did look a little "worn out" if I remember correctly.

Thanks very much for sharing this excellent news. Like others I am anxiously-awating the triumphant return of Anthony Jackson! ( best wishes AJ )
