Jon Pebsworth, vocalist of ska punk band, Buck-O-Nine, has just suffered from a heart attack. The singer is wearing a life vest so another cardiac arrest doesn’t occur. He’s currently awaiting future tests. To help Pebsworth with his medical bills, a GoFundMe was launched. The heart attack happened just before the band was supposed to go on their In Defense of Ska Tour with the band, Mustard Plug Omnigone. Aaron Carnes, the author of the In Defense of Ska book was supposed to read excerpts from the book. Due to Pebsworth’s current medical state, the tour has been pushed back to September.

Pebsworth has been suffering from Arrhythmia from his birth, the condition was made even worse after the heart attack. His recovery is expected to take from 3-4 months.

The GoFundMe says,
