Aaron Lazar was a sculptor/confrontational artist before becoming the singer for The Giraffes. Then he had a heart attack. After treatment and recovery, he was defibrillated 3 times on stage in one night. Then there's the time his guitarist was shot outside of a White Castle. Those are just TWO of the stories we get to hear.
