Primus' drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander continues to face health issues, suffering a new heart attack. Alexander survived the heart attack and revealed the news via his Instagram account. He says he is home now and doing well, but taking it easy. Back in 2014, Alexander had his first heart attack and was hospitalized. He missed part of Primus' touring. Eventually, he returned to the group's lineup to help in the support of their 2014 album, Primus & The Chocolate Factory With The Fungi Ensemble.

Tim Alexander posted via Instagram: "I had a second heart attack the other day. I did not think this could happen after having a triple bypass almost exactly 2 years ago. I was overwhelmed with sadness, not because of the fact that I could die but that I would have to say goodbye to my family. It can happen at any moment, and remember IT WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY so tell the people in your life you love them. Enjoy the days you have with them, they are limited. We are all here for a short time."

Rest well. I hope he gets better. Herb is def just as integral to Primus' sound as Les & Ler.

Agreed. I wish one day I could witness primus with herb on the throne. Primus with this Jay guy just didn't feel "that right" when I saw them few years back. Rest my master.
