Update: Bob Weir’s manager issued a statement to Rolling Stone today:
“I love the guy and wish nothing but good health,” Weir’s manager John Scher tells Rolling Stone. “He’s an extremely talented and very underrated musician. He’s an important guy. Bobby’s been having health problems for a while and now there are plenty of people who support him and want to help him get the care he needs.”
Also, Tim Flannery of the San Francisco Giants shared a personal email he received back from Bobby after the news sparked a concerned email to his friend. See below (via JamBase):
“Thnx, I’m doing fine, just a bit too much work and especially travel. This year has been especially busy; I’ve put in more miles in the first six months than I normally do in a year. Taking some time off, which I haven’t done in 50 years…”
Cheers,
Weir”
