According to TMZ.com, his promotional manager says Gallagher is breathing on his own and was speaking with his family and joking around after he was taken out of the coma on Sunday.

Gallagher, who’s 65, had two stents replaced after suffering a heart attack prior to a performance at a Lewisville, Texas, bar. He suffered a minor heart attack last year during a performance in Rochester, Minn.
