SOULFLY bassist Bobby Burns suffered a mild stroke Thursday (Sept. 14) and will remain in a doctor's care until he is fully recovered. There is no word yet as to who will take his place on SOULFLY's upcoming U.S. tour, which is expected to kick off Monday (Sept. 18) in San Diego. Burns is expected to recover fully and will rejoin the band for their Australian tour at the end of October.

K, this may be coming from wide left field... but I think Max should give Bobby some lyrical parts in the up-coming Soulfly records (pending his presence, of course).

Why?

Because Bobby killed when he was backing Primer 55's frontman.
Rap-metal or not.
