More: The 67-year-old musician, born Eric Reed Boucher, experienced a hemorrhagic stroke Saturday, March 7, caused by high blood pressure, according to a Facebook post from his record label, Alternative Tentacles.

Biafra described the moment he realized something was wrong.

"I hopped out of my bed because I needed to pee, and my left leg just collapsed under me and I fell to the floor," he recounted in a statement. "I couldn't even break the fall with my left arm because it wasn't working either. I tried to hop back up again, and I couldn't. I realized I had fallen and I can't get up!'

"It was this point I thought, Oh s", I'm having a stroke!'"
