Matt’s On The Comeback Trail
• Our most sincere good wishes go with our friend Matt Pinfield, who continues to make what can only be described as miraculous progress in his recovery after suffering that massive stroke in early January, only recently emerging from a lengthy coma.
Pinfield expressed his immense gratitude in a Monday Facebook post that reads, “I just wanted to thank all of my family, friends, and followers for all of your prayers, love, and support during such a difficult time. It made all the difference in my recovery. Your collective positivity and encouragement has been overwhelming. Even while emerging from a coma, my attitude remained the same as always. Grateful for the gift of life and being able to enjoy all of the people and music that I love. It is not lost on me how close I was to death from this stroke. Multiple medical experts thought there was a strong possibility that I would never speak or walk again. I still have a lot of work to do but I’m continuing with my rehabilitation and therapy and continually improving every day. It puts a smile on my face knowing I’ll be back on the airwaves with you very soon! So much love and thanks to you all!! I wouldn’t be here without you.”
And the good news gets better: Pinfield is scheduled to make his first public appearance on Thursday, May 1 when Green Day gets their star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Pinfield is slated to speak at the 11:30am event, alongside actor Ryan Reynolds and tennis legend Serena Williams.
