Family Of Marty Jannetty Issue Statement On His Foot Amputation

Eddy Mansfield, a longtime friend of Marty Jannetty, recently revealed that the former Rocker underwent a foot amputation. A photo of Jannetty in a wheelchair with his foot wrapped was posted online, though some questioned the authenticity of the photo.

Jannetty’s family posted the following statement on the matter:

“Official Statement Regarding Marty Jannetty’s Health

“The Jannetty family is issuing this statement to address the recent circulation of private medical information and photographs involving Marty Jannetty. Over the past year, we have chosen to keep Marty’s health matters private, and we stand firmly by that decision. However, due to widespread speculation, unauthorized posts, and ongoing commentary across social media and wrestling news outlets, we feel it is necessary to provide accurate information.

“Marty recently underwent a below‑the‑knee amputation. The photograph currently being shared online is authentic. It is not AI‑generated, altered, or manipulated in any way. It was taken by his wife to document his medical journey.

“The procedure was performed on April 1, 2026, by Dr. Leland McCluskey, who successfully removed all infected bone. The surgery went as expected, and Marty is now focusing on recovery, pain management, and long‑term healing.

“We respectfully request privacy during this time as Marty continues his rehabilitation. An additional, more detailed update will be provided when the family is ready.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has reached out with genuine concern, compassion, and support. Your kindness has been felt and deeply appreciated.”
