"Saturday update ....
hey everyone! heres an update going into week 2. we have been watching jerry like a hawk and have seen snail like improvement! (maybe even slug like which ever is slower) but improvement non the less!!!!!!!! oh yeah and so has his doctor. Some of the things we have seen jerry do is having a twitchy foot which excites us but the dr. is more satisfied that jerry is wiggling his toes, and following commands with his eyes. the doctor plans to give him medication to "wake" him up a little more and expects improvement over the next week! today the staff are working jerrys lungs out by letting him breath on his own! unassisted!!!!!!! the nurses said that he is taking nice deep breaths on his own and is doing really well! the family thanks you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers! mike"

This is horrible news and I hope the family can take solace in what the man achieved in his lifetime. I hope the Morrissey record when it is finallly released is good enough to be classed as one if not the definitive album he was involved in. It would seem to be fitting that the last record he was involved in should be a gem.
Rest in peace.

Has he passed on? (Score:0)
And is it possible or probable, that the album is being pushed back so that the artwork may get changed to have it be dedicated to Jerry Finn in case he does pass on.

it seems like, if what is here is true, that he was wiggling his foot and breathing on his own. It makes me sick to think that people would do that. It's like it's just a money$ grab or something.

Please could the headline be changed because I think it currently implies a recovery. Please could I respectfully ask that it's changed to something like "Jerry Finn: life support switched off" or use the word "withdrawn"? if that is the case. Thanks.

Blink-182 and Morrissey producer Jerry Finn has been taken off life support after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage last month. According to a post on the Prosoundweb forum reprinted on Morrissey-Solo.com, Finn's family made the decision on Saturday.
"Even though he did make snail-like improvement these past 31 days, he is not any better for words and has not had any consistency in the tests that the medical team have done for him," a close Finn friend wrote on the forum. "At this time the hemorrhage has done massive damage to his body which will leave him severely disabled and in need of acute care for the rest of his life. We know Jerry wouldn't want to live like this in a vegetative state."
Finn, 38, got his start as an engineer in the early 1990s before shifting into production on such albums as Rancid's "...And Out Come the Wolves." Among his best-known production credits are Blink-182's "Enema of the State" and Morissey's "You Are the Quarry." Finn has also worked with Green Day, Bad Religion, Sparta, AFI and the Offspring, among many others.
Finn had also lent production to Morrissey's upcoming "Years of Refusal," which has been bumped from a fall release to Feb. 2, 2009, according to Truetoyou.net.
