Legendary musician and composer Kerry Livgren suffered a stroke Tuesday morning. Livgren was a founding member of Kansas, and has been a tireless creative force since the early 70s. Currently he is a busy solo artist and producer, and manages his own label, Numavox Records.
Kerry is currently hospitalized near his home in Topeka, Kanasa, where surgery was performed to remove a blood clot in his brain. Kerry's nephew and Proto-Kaw bandmate Jake Livgren has stated the family continues to be encouraged by signs his uncle is giving following the stroke he suffered Tuesday morning.
Livgren, who in the '70s as a member of progressive rock band Kansas wrote "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust In The Wind" among other classic compositions. Livgren has been extremely active in recent months, working on an updated version of his autobiography Seeds Of Change which was also the title of his first solo record, released after his conversion but while he was still a member of Kansas.
