Rodney Appleby recovering
Rodney Appleby who was playing bass on Ian Gillan’s album “Gillan’s Inn” and also was on tour with Ian a few month ago, was shot in the jaw recently, as we reported about a couple a weeks ago. He is currently recovering in his home in Buffalo, USA and he would like to let fans know that he is doing well and is very grateful for their support. Doctors expect him to fully recover in time for the Ian Gillan tour in Australia, which starts January 19, 2007.
Thanks to Classic Rock Revisited and Scoot for the information

He also has a very, very nice bass guitar. So envy no doubt fueled my cruelty! 🙂

While Rodney is recovering well, and is expected to recover fully, at this point the doctors are advising caution for Rodney because they don’t know what will be required to extract that bullet, or whether its current location will cause other problems.
