Jimmy Pearson recovering from quadruple bypass surgery
Several days ago, Jimmy Pearson, lead singer and manager for the Diplomats, was admitted to the hospital with chest pains. Diplomats bass singer Joe Brown said that Pearson’s surgery yesterday went well: “The Doctors say all went well and with medications and diet, he should completely recover.”
He added: “The family and Diplomats thanks you for your prayers and concerns for Jimmy for we understand what prayer can do. Please continue your prayers and support.”
Blame it on whatever you like! Fact is, my reason is simple enough: I have no interest in any secular music.
