Ex-Kansas violin player and singer Robby Steinhardt suffers heart attack.

t looks like Lemmy isn't the only one going through a health scare right now....Directly from Kansas' Twitter and Facebook.

On Friday Afternoon, Robby Steinhardt was admitted into a hospital due to a heart attack. At present, he is resting comfortably while awaiting a quadruple bypass operation early this coming week.

The thoughts and prayers of the KANSAS band and crew are with Robby and his family. Robby has asked for his family's privacy to please be respected at this time.

Due to his treatment and recovery, Robby will be unable to attend the Fan Appreciation Concert in Pittsburgh next weekend. However, all other aspects of the concert will continue as planned.

I'm praying for Robby even though I definitley prefer the current violinist, David Ragsdale. And sadly....I kinda saw this coming, not a heart attack, but something major going on with his health because as you can see by this clip, he looks like hammered shit.

There are rumors that his health is a major reason why he left or was booted out of Kansas in 2006 and there was something going on with his thyroid gland in 2011. He's going in for surgery sometime this week, but it's in God's hands now

Oh no. My thoughts go out to the Steinhardt clan (sp) his Dad and all his relatives. What a great inspiration he has been.

Wish them all the best.
