Guitarist BOB KULICK Suffers Broken Leg
Former
KISS guitarist
Bruce Kulick issued the following message yesterday (Boxing Day):
"I trust you all are having a great holiday with friends and family and I hope you all can be happy for whatever blessings in life you really have. Perfect example for me to share is my brother (Bob Kulick) breaking his leg doing what he loves to do, playing softball, on Sunday, December 16th and then realizing he was to be in the hospital for four days. He became a bionic man, with a titanium rod and plate in his leg, and will have a lengthy rehabilitation, which is something very new to him. He remembered four years ago when I was injured by a crazed gunman shooting me through the leg, and grazing my temple, that I could help him understand being in the emergency room and what may follow.
Actually, Bob has a bit more rehab than even I had, although I had knee surgery four months after taking the bullet through my thigh muscle, as I twisted that knee pretty bad. Elective surgery was my situation, but Bob did great two days after he broke both bones in his left leg, and he is doing well all things considered. His doctor expects a full recovery. So once again, be grateful for all you can do, like walk up and down stairs, and all the other simple things we take for granted. And remember to take good care of your health, as my brother will recover more quickly because he is in good shape. Seeing our parents struggle, as fortunate as we are to have them around, has always been tough on our nerves.
So in overview of my 2007, I wanted to share some highlights: touring Europe with the Eric Singer Project in March and seeing some incredible countries (and fans!); performing in Brazil and Argentina; jamming with Jack Bruce of CREAM in London and recording at Abbey Road Studios; sharing the stage with Paul Stanley at two of the Fantasy Camps I appeared at; traveling all over the US and Niagara Falls with GRAND FUNK RAILROAD; seeing the huge success of Kissology II and III (thank you all)...
...recording, co-writing and performing in LA with American Pie actor Thomas Ian Nicholas; receiving a double Platinum award from Kanye West for the College Dropout co-write; receiving a Platinum disc for LORDI the band from Finland for whom I played a wicked guitar solo; making huge progress on my BK3 disc; buying quite a few new amazing guitars, and selling a few I didn¹t need as well; appearing at various KISS expos around the country (returning just recently from Brazil, again!); and ending up the year with a huge show with ESP in Mexico City!
In conclusion, I did want to just say be grateful for all you have in your life. I have been very blessed with my work, and I am thankful to all the fans and the opportunity they have given me to entertain and share my music with you all. So have a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
All the best in 2008 and don't blow up anything in your life. (Meaning respect what you have!)"
