‘70s rocker suffers medical emergency with ‘long journey ahead of him if he survives'
Dave Edmunds, the Welsh rock musician, has suffered from a 'major cardiac arrest,' according to a Facebook post from his wife, Cici. Cici updated fans on Edmunds' condition earlier this week, revealing the incident in graphic detail. Per her post, Edmunds died during the attack and was later revived by ICU doctors who intubated him. 'My beloved husband of 40 years has had a major cardiac arrest as I told you about in my previous post,' she wrote on Tuesday. 'He died in my arms while I desperately tried to keep him alive while trying to clear his airways from all of the fluids that come out of a human beings [sic] body when we pass away.' She added: 'As I'm on the floor with Dave dead and lots of fluid is coming out of his mouth and the other places in his body. I keep my emotions in check, even though I'm absolutely heartbroken and terrified at the shock of having my beloved husband dead in my arms.' After an unsuccessful attempt at performing CPR on the musician, ICU doctors revived Edmunds 'by a miracle' via intubation, although Cici's post notes that he 'very clearly has brain damage and severe memory loss etc.' 'And the risk of yet another major cardiac arrest is high,' she wrote. 'And if that occurs there is no chance for Dave….." Edmunds ended the post by asking for prayers and 'good wishes' for her husband, and thanked them for their support this far. 'I'm still in shock and I believe I have PTSD from the horrific experience,' she wrote. 'Dave will have a very long journey ahead of him if he survives,' she concluded. 'We both have.' Edmunds, whose career launched in the late 1960s, has recorded over a dozen records as a solo artist and a member of the bands Love Sculpture and Rockpile. In 1970, he scored one of his best-known songs in the UK with a cover of 'I Hear You Knocking,' originally by New Orleans blues musician Smiley Lewis.

Charlamagne Tha God Brutally Claims Trump Is ‘Losing It As Badly As Biden'
Charlamagne tha God has claimed that President Donald Trump is 'losing it as badly as [former President Joe] Biden.' The radio host's comments came more than a month after Trump ordered an investigation into his predecessor's aides for allegedly covering up Biden's supposed cognitive decline. 'Is Trump really losing it as badly as Biden? Hmm. Let's run through this official list of dementia symptoms from the Mayo Clinic, all right?' Charlamagne said, referring to the private American academic medical center, while appearing as a guest host on 'The Daily Show' on Tuesday. He continued, 'Now, first, I want to say that doctors warn it's unethical to diagnose someone you haven't actually examined, but I'm not a doctor, OK? So let's fucking go!' The 'Breakfast Club' host, who pulled out the list on a clipboard, went on to point out memory loss as a first symptom of dementia. Charlamagne played a clip of the POTUS declaring he was 'surprised' Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was appointed, seemingly forgetting that he appointed him in 2017. 'Memory loss, check,' Charlamagne quipped to the audience while dramatically making a check mark on the symptoms list. 'He's stealing Biden's whole flow, word for word, bar for bar. I bet Biden's somewhere watching this, thinking, 'Where am I?'' Naming 'problems with communication' as another symptom, he then played separate footage of Trump mispronouncing the word 'cryptologic.' Elsewhere in the segment, Charlamagne alleged that Trump has no 'coordination and movement control,' another symptom of dementia, while showing a clip of the world leader awkwardly dancing to 'Y.M.C.A.' by the Village People. 'I don't get why Trump chose Y.M.C.A as his signature song. That dance involves coordination and spelling at the same time. Are you trying to kill this man?' he joked. Wrapping up his message, Charlamagne played multiple clips of Trump appearing to become agitated with the press before accusing the POTUS of having 'rage issues.' 'The bad news is, Trump has rage issues,' he added. 'The good news is there's no way he's remembering the nuclear codes, OK? Now, that's my whole checklist, and I've reached my diagnosis. This guy needs to be put into a retirement home immediately.' Watch Charlamagne tha God's appearance on 'The Daily Show' below. Related...
