I have only picked up little snippets here and there about this story and I hope it’s rumours but who knows at the moment…

Snippet 1

Well, MF Doom was a no-show again at last night’s New York-Tokyo Music Festival. This is starting to get commonplace for Doom, but here’s where things suddenly get pretty ominous: Pharoahe Monch came on and held a moment of silence, saying Doom was hospitalized after having a heart attack.

Snippet 2 (this was posted on the Stones Throw message board)

I got your message and I understand what you are saying about falsely reporting DOOM had a heart attack without a shred of evidence, however, I never said that DOOM died of a heart attack. I said that he was hospitalized due to complications of asthma and that it was rumored that it may have been a heart attack. The announcement of the asthma complications came before Pharoah Monch’s performance by Kenny Muhammad who was MCing the show. Then Pharoah Monch came out and had a moment of silence and a prayer for DOOM which everyone did. Somewhere along the lines there was talk of a heart attack but no one including myself ever said DOOM was actually dead.

I am huge fan of Stones Throw and all of their artists especailly DOOM. I still listen to Madvillain all the time and it is one of my all time favorite album. I’ll be seeing Percee P October 7th at Nokia and got my tickets already for the Stones Throw Showcase on December 2nd at the Highline Ballroom.

I apologize for the misunderstanding but I was just reporting what happended at this particular show. I would appreciate it if you could leave this post up so that people that got the wrong impression from my previous post can get the correct news.

Also, can someone let us know what exactly is going on with DOOM???

The message was then deleted by mods of the board.

If the rumours are to be believed we hope you get better soon Doom!
