Earlier this morning we reported that North Mississippi Allstars bassist Chris Chew was hospitalized in Portland, OR due to complications from diabetes. North Mississippi Allstars drummer Cody Dickinson has now sent out an update of his own. Earlier this morning Dickinson tweeted, “Chris Chew is out of coma and breathing on his own. It is a beautiful day.” North Mississippi Allstars members Cody Dickinson and Luther Dickinson are slated to perform at Bonnaroo this weekend as part of The Word.
