CICERO BLAKE ACCIDENT

CICERO BLAKE was involved in a serious car accident on Friday, November 26th, sustaining multiple injuries.

The accident happened as Cicero was returning from church in his home town of Chicago. He had been booked to perform at a club in St. Louis, MO. on the Saturday. Following surgery, Cicero is recovering in Mt. Sinai hospital where his condition continues to improve. Grapevine consultant Edward Keyes visited him and was happy to report that Cicero was feeling hungry. "Thats a good sign," said Keyes. "Cicero is optimistic and he wants to get back to work as soon as possible." Grapevine Music Group will continue with the release of Ciceros album Here Comes The Heartache.

The scheduled release date is December 13th. News of the accident was received just as the Grapevine staff were finishing the liner notes for Ciceros forthcoming album. In his notes, Paul Mooney had described Cicero as a "survivor", having recently battled against a serious illness. "We really believe Cicero is a survivor," said Mooney. "And of course we all pray that he makes a full and fast recovery." Messages can be sent to Cicero care of the Grapevine office.
