Per a very strong resource, Joey is alive and well and rocking a newly shaved head! Obviously there have been a lot of rumors and the band has been quiet about Joey, but I am just going to say what I know (not much, but better than nothing). As we all know Joey is grieving the loss of Linda and dealing with some significant health issues that are impacting his ability to be able to play a 2 hour rock and roll show, however they will be working around this. I am just going to say that it is pretty unlikely that we will see Joey behind the kit for a 2 hour rock and roll show extravaganza again; however, the band, Joey, and Joey's son are going to be working to honor the band and Joey's legacy of drumming as they move forward into 2023. Most importantly Joey is alive and well, getting stronger. His health and happiness are of the utmost importance and I say let's thank him for keeping the beat all these years

So, we might get to see Joey playing with the band again at least in some songs? I'll take that. Any chance to get the 5 together on stage at this point is a blessing. Ps: Yeah, I saw Joey's pic, the shaved head look suits him nicely!!!

The shaved head look fits him nicely, he looks like Kenny Aronoff now!

That is lovely to read. It wouldn't be nice for anyone... The band and the fans, to be dealing with rancour within the ranks, at this stage. Life really is too short for all that nonsense.
Bless ya, Kramedog. X

Bless him. He looks like a Limp Bizkit fan from 1999. Hahaha. He's looking well, though.

Tom's image is from Joey at the grocery store about two weeks ago, so that is the first sighting of Joey in a long time. The shaved head suits him, nicely.

Love the shaved head and love that he is doing better! I would love to see Joey back behind the drums…even if it’s just for a few songs!

Great to see Joey out and about!
I wonder why they changed the backup drummer from Joey’s son to Joey’s tech. Does anybody know? I haven’t watched either of them often enough to form an opinion about who is better.

From what I understand at the time originally Jesse was tied up and after Linda passed he was taking care of Joey.

From what I understand at the time originally Jesse was tied up and after Linda passed he was taking care of Joey. That makes sense, but wasn’t Douglas the backup at shows well before Linda passed? I cannot recall for sure, but he seemed to play backup during the last several tours when Joey wasn’t there. Seems like a long time ago when Joey’s son last played. It would be interesting to compare Joey’s son and Douglas in side-by-side videos of the same song. Heck, toss Joey in there also for grins.
