Jello Biafra, founding member and former lead singer of the seminal punk band Dead Kennedys, has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke on Saturday.

“I hopped out of my bed because I needed to pee, and my left leg just collapsed under me and I fell to the floor,” Biafra writes in an Instagram post published Monday by his record label, Alternative Tentacles. “I couldn’t even break the fall with my left arm because it wasn’t working either. I tried to hop back up again, and I couldn’t. I realized I had ‘fallen and I can’t get up!'”

“It was [at] this point I thought, ‘Oh s***, I’m having a stroke!'” he continues. “I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I gotta lotta of rehabbing to do.”

The post adds that Biafra is currently stable and updates will be provided as they come.

Biafra formed Dead Kennedys in 1978 alongside guitarists East Bay Ray and 6025, bassist Klaus Flouride and drummer Ted. The band released four albums before breaking up in 1986.

Dead Kennedys reformed in 2001 without Biafra, and the relationship between the two camps has remained contentious.

A funeral service for Lil Poppa was held Saturday at Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, where he was laid to rest in a gold casket, according to XXL. During the service, his manager addressed fans’ social media comments and theories, and emphasized that the rapper was loved, cared for and often given words of encouragement throughout his journey.

“I said, ‘Don’t ever stop praying.’ I said, ‘You have a son to live for,'” she said, in part. “I said, ‘You have a family of people that need you and depend on you.'”

“Everybody has to deal with they own things on they own time,” she added. “And, if you really knew Poppa, you knew this is what Poppa wanted. Poppa was never happy with life. It had nothing to do with anybody. He just feel like he wasn’t making nobody happy. And that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. Because, in truth, he made all of us happy.”

Poppa, born Janarious Wheeler, died by suicide on Feb. 18. He was 25 years old.

Yo Gotti, to whom Lil Poppa was signed, was in attendance. His CMG label paid tribute to the star upon news of his passing. “Thank you for sharing your gift with the world,” the caption read.
