Former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield Reportedly Suffers ‘Massive Stroke’


Former MTV VJ and 120 Minutes host Matt Pinfield, 63, has reportedly been hospitalized following a massive stroke, and his daughter has filed for temporary conservatorship

Pinfield, 63, has most recently worked in rock radio in Los Angeles, including a Sunday night slot for KLOS and an afternoon drivetime shift for KCSN. Hard rock legends Living Colour sent “love and healing vibes” in their own X post while alternative rocker Pete Yorn wished Pinfield a “speedy recovery”. 120 Minutes was pivotal in the rise of alternative music in the 1980s and ‘90s, as it provided an early platform for artists as varied as Björk, Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine before they achieved mainstream success.
