yes, this is incredibly sad. he's been in a coma ever since the fall occurred which has been quite a number of weeks now. it occurred at a rolling stones concert.

Best wishes to him and his family.

I ALWAYS KNEW THE ROLLING STONES WOULD BE HIS DOWNFALL

I think what actually happened is that he went into schock when he got his monthly statement from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation showing how much he owes in back royaltiies -

the subtitle of this thread needs to be changed. he wasn't "found ill". that comes from the headline, "founder" (of atlantic records) ill.

Ok, I have changed it; Ahmet is still in a coma .

I thought it meant he was recording WHILE he was ill -

Ahmet is my first musical hero.

Hope he gets better.
