North Mississippi Allstars bassist Chris Chew was recently hospitalized in Portland, OR. It is believed that Chew is suffering from complications from diabetes. A message from North Mississippi Allstars reads, “Our brother Chris Chew is currently in a hospital in Portland, OR. Thank you all for your love and support, please continue to send your thoughts and prayers to Chew and his family.”
