(Classic Rock) King's X mainman dUg Pinnick has undergone successful surgery for a hernia after fans paid for the operation. Pinnick says: "Hernia surgery was a success; I'm waiting to be released."

He's needed medical attention for years but couldn't afford it due to a lack of medical insurance. But supporters rallied round and raised $26,000 from 599 contributors via a GiveForward crowdfunding drive.

He previously explained: "I'm overwhelmed with the amount of love people have shown by contributing. I have avoided this for way too long and I know I have to fix this immediately." more on this story
