Earth, Wind & Fire Drummer John Paris Enters Induced Coma Ahead of SF Show

Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris, 58, was hospitalized ahead of a San Francisco show and placed in an induced coma due to hypertension and breathing difficulties. A status update from Shelly Clark White's Standing for John Paris page says doctors are pursuing the safest path forward while he remains sedated, with family and friends by his side. A GoFundMe has raised over $70,000, and Paris’s absence comes as the band’s Sing a Song All Night Long Tour with Lionel Richie was cut short earlier this month due to Richie’s medical issue.
