UPDATE:
We're sad to report that JV has passed away. "'The body and the pain and all that stuff, I can handle. What it’s doing to my brain I could never describe to you.' Vandergrift was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2021, and frequently told listeners about his ongoing battle with brain fog, dizziness and bouts of depression."' We send our deepest condolences to JV's family and loved ones. (Quote from NY Post)
