| Like the rest of us Meat is kept in the Dark. Now me I can cope with it as I am just a fan but someone who has a vested interest in knowing that JS is alive gets a little paranoid. I am sure all the managers, hangers on, pseudo publicists, the accountants cat... are going bonkers because whatever Jacqueline says they want to hear it from the horses mouth that he is OK. It is not as though he is usally short of a few words and he could even tell everyone to fuck off, it is none of your business.... however I am sure he would do it in a more stylish way than that, even after heart surgery! > > He is on a tv show in the UK & is currently doing > > interviews.
