He wrote: &#8220;It is with a heavy heart I must let everyone know what&#8217;s going on with me and my health. I have been hospitalized for over the last month. I have been diagnosed with liver failure. And prognosis is not so good. As with most musicians I do not have health insurance and it\u2019s very difficult to get proper care without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;I am currently under at least seven different medications and I need to have my abdomen drained off fluid that gets accumulated every couple of days. I have lost a lot of strength and will require physical therapy as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;At the moment, I am looking into putting together some sort of fundraiser to help with the medical bills and with the palliative care I will need in the coming months. I am kindly asking those of you who could help put this together to step forward. I would not be asking you all this if I didn&#8217;t really need the help, but sadly this is where I&#8217;m at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Blabbermouth.net, former\u00a0SKID ROW\u00a0singer\u00a0Johnny Solinger\u00a0has died at the age of 55.
