Bruce Kulick Recuperating From Random Shooting

BRUCE KULICK (Kiss, Grand Funk Railroad) is at home and recovering from two gunshots after a show at the Rainbow in Hollywood Wednesday night.

He had been to a Vince Neil event at the Rainbow, and left with a friend at 1:30 a.m. As he walked down the strip, he heard gunshots. He looked down to see a hole through his leather pants, right above the knee. Next thing he noticed blood was coming down his leg. He heard a second bullet whiz past his ear and realized he’d been grazed in his head by it. Immediately the EMS crews arrived, took him to the hospital.

This was a random shooting, and the assailant was wrestled to the ground by the crowd.

“I’m very grateful for the immediate response of both the crowd and the doctors, and --obviously-- the EMS crews,” says Bruce Kulick. “I’m fine and very thankful to be alive, and I’m back on the road with Grand Funk.”

This past weekend Bruce and his band Grand Funk played two shows in California. On November 8th they’ll be performing at a benefit for Safe Harbor Animal Rescue and Hospital-- a no kill facility in Grand Funk drummer Don Brewer’s hometown of Jupiter.

Bruce has plenty of time to recuperate, as the band is taking time off for the holidays. And they’ll be back on the road to do 40 or 50 shows in the new year.
