Former AEROSMITH lead guitarist Jimmy Crespo is “doing much better,” several days after injuring his head in a fall.

Jimmy, who is best known as the man who replaced Joe Perry in AEROSMITH from 1979 to 1984, is expected to be released from the hospital “soon.”

Earlier today, former L.A. GUNS singer Chris Van Dahl, who played with Jimmy in THE JIMMY CRESPO PROJECT, posted an update on his bandmate’s condition, writing on Facebook: “Leaving the hospital now where I have been visiting with Jimmy and Cynthia Crespo.

“I’m happy to report (With Jimmy and Cynthia‘s blessing) that Jimmy has been downgraded from the ICU and is doing much better.

“For those of you who have been asking about what happened? Several days ago, Jimmy slipped and hit his head extremely hard. Up until recently his speech center was affected. Can’t tell you how happy I am to report that that certainly wasn’t the case today. We had a wonderful conversation and visited for quite some time.

“On behalf of Jimmy, Cynthia and myself, thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and positive energy!

Jimmy will be out of the hospital soon enough and back to doing what it is he does best. Playing!”

In addition to appearing on AEROSMITH‘s “Night In The Ruts” album, Jimmy co-wrote the majority of songs and performed almost all the guitar on “Rock In A Hard Place”.
