News:
SYMPHONY X canceln Festivals
by Markus Mai
Mit großem Bedauern haben SYMPHONY X jetzt bekannt gegeben, dass sämtliche geplanten europäischen Festivalsim kommenden Juni aufgrund einer schwerer Krankheit ihres Bassisten leider komplett ausfallen müssen.
Michael Lepond ist ernsthaft an "Morbus Crohn" erkrankt. Mann hoffe auf einen guten Verlauf der OP und auf eine baldige Genesung. SYMPHONY X werden daher frühestens im kommenden Herbst 2006, ungefähr zur Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums, wieder auf Tour gehen können.
"To whom it may concern, I have been diagnosed with Crohn´s disease (an Inflammatory Bowel disorder).
This has caused an obstruction in my small intestine, making it impossible to digest solid foods.
Currently, I am hospitalized where they can feed me through an I.V. unit supplemented with a liquid diet.
But, there is some good news.
The doctors tell me, that with a surgical procedure, they will have me back to 100% in about 6 weeks. And, although it is a chronic disease, this procedure will make it much easier to control it´s effects in the future. I want to thank the band, the crew, the fans and everyone else involved for your understanding and support during this tough time.
You will all make my healing process much easier and I´ll be back on the bass in no time."
Michael Lepond
