“If I were anywhere else in America, I might not be here”: Three Days Grace guitarist opens up after he suffered a heart attack mid-show – and kept going

Barry Stock of Three Days Grace performs at Circolo Magnolia on June 21, 2023 in Milan, Italy.

In 2013, Three Days Grace guitarist Barry Stock was playing a festival on the north side of Detroit when, halfway through the show, he had a heart attack that nearly left him for dead.

“While we were playing Good Life, I felt what I thought was really brutal heartburn, which I don't usually get,” he recounts in a recent interview with Ultimate Guitar about the traumatic affair.
