|
A good friend of mine has just passed this along to me...
Link to News Article about Captain Jack's Current Situation.
It seems that Franky Gee, better known to all of us as Captain Jack, has suddenly collapsed and fallen into a very deep coma. The outlook is very grim at this point, and it looks like everyone's favorite Dance Commander might not make it through this...
I don't know about anyone else here, but this news saddens me very deeply. Franky has brought me many years of entertainment and joy through his music, and I will miss him very much if he passes on. I really hope that Franky pulls through this....

How do you not get the article?
What you need to know is that he collapsed, he's now in a coma, and doctors are giving very little hope to the situation.

| Well, gee, it's in Babelfish. There's a part that says something happened to him in 2002. It's the first I've heard of Franky Gee getting ill and unfortunately it may be the last. |

Right, in 2002, there was a previous major health scare. If my memory serves me, it was either a stroke or a heart attack... I'm sure there are people who would know this better than I do. |

I suppose it's kind of terrible the way the horrible Engrish makes me laugh. Sad news; guess it goes to show that you never know how much time you have...

It's not terrible, because you're laughing at the horrible Japanese writers, not the content. =P
This is sad though. I would totally go visit him if it was possible.

Franky Gee is the reason I know what bemani is. And that started over 4 years ago.
I just ask that we all respect him at a time like this. I really don't know how to react right now. |

Bad news:
| Quote: |
Palma de Mallorca. Francisco Guterrez aka "Captain Jack" ("Drill Instructor") died at the age of 43. The good-mood singer (sold seven million records) already collapsed on monday at a party in Palma de Mallorca. He was taken to the hospital "Juaneda" with the suspicion of stroke. The doctors had already lost all hope. In the night to friday he has fallen into eternal sleep without ever regaining his consciousness, according to his ex-wife Daniela Schaefer.
The drama around "Captain Jack" started at a party at Palma. The native-born Cuban (wearing his dance commander uniform) grasped at his chest and collapsed. Siegfried Blau, a good friend: "It was awful. We called the ambulance right away. But Franky wasn't transportable. He lay on the terrace for a hour, the paramedics battled for his life." Slightly stabilized he was finally transfered to the hospital.
Three years ago the singer suffered a crippling stroke. He had a hemiplegia, could barely speak. "Of late Franky had a lot stress, was traveling around, had a lot of gigs", said his manager Niebergall. And just now, where he met his son Francisco (21, lives at Miami) again after years on Mallorca, he was hit by a second stroke that caused his dead.
Niebergall: "Despite having high blood pressure since years, he didn't take his medication." His hits won't be forgotten...

I doubt the Babelfish software system ever went to school.
