Maurice White, founder, producer and co-leader of the legendary R&B group Earth, Wind and Fire, told RollingStone.com today that he is suffering from Parkinson's Disease. Although the fifty-eight-year-old musician was originally diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disease eight years ago, he opted to keep his condition a secret. But now, with his band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame only a week away, White feels that the time has come to set the record straight.

Maurice White is DEAD. He was shot on stage in Tokyo, Japan back in 1990 while performing on the "Heritage" tour with EWF by a sniper. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was 48. RIP Maurice White

He has Parkinson's Disease, so he no longer performs or tours with the group! That's so sad. They're so talented. I hate the fact that he's ill!

He killed himself because no one loved him anymore.
