482.0. "Larry Norman" by LARVAE::PRICE_B () Tue May 24 1994 08:50

Hi,

I read a few months ago that Larry Norman was seriously ill (and ready to die). 
Does anybody have any more news on this ??

Cheers loads

 With apologies, I ask, who is Larry Norman?
482.2Known to GodLARVAE::PRICE_BTue May 24 1994 10:419
    Larry is one of the top christian musicians, he really pioneered
    christian rock music in the 1960's.
    
    (Incidently, he was banned from performing at UK's Greenbelt festival
    [a "christian" festival] from preaching the gospel !!)

    I heard a while ago that he had a heart attack or something, but was
    doing ok
    
    but I don't know anything recent
    
    he has fallen from popularity here in the states in recent years, but
    is big in Europe (bigger, perhaps)
    he had cutting lyrics similar to Keith Green's
    
482.6Think he had a heart attack in HollandNSIC00::LAMANThu May 26 1994 06:2313
If I recall correct, Larry's tour throughout Europe last year was canceled after
he collapsed on stage while performing somewhere in the Netherlands. I recall
Darrell Mansfield giving a non-profit concert in Gouda (NL) to raise money for
Larry's hospital bill, since he had no insurance coverage for our country.
I'm afraid this has ended his career.

Larry has always been a challenging person to me. His lyrics show love for the
Lord and compassion for the lost. Very worthwhile!!

482.7Another heart attackREOELF::PRICEBThu Jul 28 1994 12:434
    I heard last night that Larry had to cancel a festival appearance in
    the UK this summer 'cos he's had another heart attack. Must keep
    praying for him.
