I'm Dying to Tell You

Zac Brown Band's John Driskell Hopkins & His Battle with ALS


Listen Later

 Here I sit down with Zac Brown Band founding member, John Driskell Hopkins who is using his stage to help bring awareness to ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.  John was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal illness with no cure in 2021.  John, also known as Hop, decided to go public with his ALS hoping his reach could result in awareness, action and ultimately support for an ALS cure.  He and his wife, Jennifer formed the Hop On A Cure organization which supports promising ALS research.  In this episode, I chat with John about, his start in music, how he became a part of the award winning Zac Brown Band and how he noticed something wasn’t right with his health on tour.  He shares intimate details about his thoughts right after diagnosis, telling his family, his daughters and more.  I chat with Jennifer about their foundation, Hop on a Cure.  John continues to perform and record with the Zac Brown Band as they are currently on tour. Thank you for listening and sharing with a friend.  Hugs, Lorri
