We’re sorry to report that Chicago house legend Paul Johnson has suffered a severe accident. According to Johnson’s Facebook status, the producer responsible for over 100 classic tracks and remixes, including his hit single “Get Get Down” faces major surgery:

Due to a tragic accident Paul Johnson is in the hospital with a broken hip and spine and is now awaiting surgery Tuesday to have his right leg also amputated. Hopefully after a few months of rehab Paul will want to return to the music industry, truthfully from his mouth to mine “Fuck the World” is how he feels.

This is of course doubley sad since Johnson has been living in a wheelchair for most of his adult life (caused by a firearm accident). In 2003, Johnson had to have his left leg amputated due to complications from his injury.

Johnson was scheduled to perform at Chicago’s Smart Bar this Wednesday night. The event has now become a fundraiser for Johnson, with Glenn Underground, Stacy Kidd, Gantman, Eric Martin and Melvin Meeks performing.
