JOHN POPPER – LOST 200 POUNDS

John Popper is a well-known harmonica player. He originally dreamed of becoming a comedian but later changed his mind when he took the stage as The Blue Brothers with his friends. Popper thought he was living the life of a rock star but his health was slowly deteriorating. In 1990, he began touring with Blues Traveler and occasionally performed solo concerts. Some of Popper’s original popular tracks have become an important part of Blues Traveler.

From 2017 to 2018, Popper began to perform solo in the United States. Sometimes, he will perform with Blues Traveler keyboard player Ben Wilson. He had a massive chest pain to a degree where he had to be admitted in a hospital. According to the diagnosis, this was caused by a block in one of his arteries. Luckily, Popper dodged a cardiac arrest, but he underwent angioplasty. The surgeries cost him most of his investment money but at least his weight dropped significantly.
