Symphony X drummer Jason Rullo was recently released from the hospital after being admitted for heart failure. Jason’s rehabilitation and recovery will take a minimum of three to six months under doctor supervision. “I am happy to be home with my family after what was quite a week,” says Jason. “We had a few scary days in there, but I made it through what was hopefully the worst of it. Doctors say I have a very good chance for a full recovery, so I plan to be back at a hundred percent, even if it takes a while. I will go through cardiac rehab so I can be monitored while returning to form, so that I’ll know when it’s safe for me to return to drumming the way I always have, if not better.

“Thanks to my friends and family for the support, and to the fans,” adds Rullo. “I love you all!”

Modern Drummer wishes Jason a swift recovery. Fans are encouraged to visit Symphony X’s Facebook  and Twitter pages to send Jason their well wishes.
