Jon Oliva recovering from a stroke

It has finally come true... It turns out he is recovering from a stroke he had in April.  I wish him a speedy recovery and many more years.  His music has been a great inspiration to me.

Read more about it here: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/jon-oli...om-stroke/ 

If you are a casual TSO fan, you might not know that TSO has its roots in heavy metal band, Savatage, of which Jon was a co-founder, along with his brother Criss who was killed in a car accident.  The Savatage/TSO story would make an amazing movie, or VH1 Behind the Scenes.

I saw this on Blabbermouth last week. Looks like they kept it under wraps pretty well. Maybe a wake up call for him?
