Randy Gane, keyboardist for the Geoff Tate-fronted version of Queensryche, suffered a heart attack on December 26. Wrote Tate on Facebook the following day, “Please send your prayers and positive thoughts to my good friend and keyboard player Randy Gane who is currently recovering from suffering a heart attack last night.”
Over in the other version of Queensryche, guitarist Michael Wilton said, “We in Queensryche want to send our thoughts and prayers out to our old friend Randy Gane in light of the heart attack he suffered the other night. He will always be a part of the extended Queensryche family and we want to wish him a speedy recovery. We ask all our fans to keep him and his family in your thoughts as we celebrate this holiday season. Look forward to a happy, healthy and musical 2013.”
