India, Aug. 19 -- Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris is in induced Coma after he was hospitalized due to a medical emergency.
Paris reportedly suffered a cardiac problem ahead of the band's scheduled show at the Chase Center in San Francisco on August 6. Following this incident, the band cancelled the concert.
"Over the past several days, we have intentionally kept many details of John's condition private out of respect for him and his family. As information has begun to circulate publicly, we feel it's important that everyone hears the story directly from us," his friends said in a Facebook update.
Paris's wife Kathy Merrick, daughter Kyla, his friend Eddie M and Earth, Wind & Fire Tour Manager Toshi remained by his side.
