DMX Update as Family Plans New York Hospital Vigil for Rapper on Life Support
The family of rapper DMX have planned a prayer vigil for Monday outside the New York hospital where he reportedly remains on life support after suffering a heart attack.
The vigil will be held outside White Plains Hospital at 5 p.m., the 50-year-old rapper's family said in an email to The Associated Press.
They said DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was admitted to the hospital on Friday night and was facing "serious health issues."
"We ask that you please keep Earl/DMX and us in your thoughts, wishes, and prayers as well as respect our privacy as we face these challenges," they said.
DMX remained in a coma and was on a ventilator, according to the family statement issued on Sunday afternoon.
The rapper's attorney, Murray Richman, said on Saturday that he was admitted to the hospital's intensive care unit after having a heart attack. However, he said he didn't know the cause.
"I'm very sad about it, extremely sad. He's like my son," Richman said. "He's just a tremendous person, tremendous entertainer, tremendous human being. And so much to offer, so much to say. Not the run-of-the-mill rapper. A person of great depth."
