New York - Singer John B of the rock group The Putrid Flowers was rushed to hospital late last night due to severe dehydration. The initial cause of the dehydration has yet to be found although there has been much speculation.

"I don't know what happened, " said fellow band member Chris Fasulo, "We were just finishing an all night recording session and everything was going great. Now this."

Other band members feel that they do know what happened. "It's the rock and roll life style that he tries to live," said Ed Smith, another member of the band. "It's always the same. Someday he's gonna burn out and I don't want to be there when it happens. The parties, the alcohol, the women..."

The drummer of the band, a mysterious man who goes only by the named Peelo, declined to comment.

This latest incident caps off a history of problems in the band and is adding to the tension which already exists between it's members. John has been quoted in the past as saying, "On a good day, Joe (former drummer Guerrero) and I hate each other's guts.....and neither of us give a **** about Ed."

John was treated by Dr. Matthew Rosenstein, who declined to comment on the cause of the incident. John is now at home, drinking lots of fluids.
