As we reported earlier this week, Of Mice & Men frontman Austin Carlile checked into a hospital on Saturday and shortly thereafter, his band cancelled their remaining tour dates. Carlile finally addressed the situation last night in a series of tweets:
Thank you for the get-well wishes, everyone. I’m transferring to Stanford University this week to be in care of my cardiologists and marfans specialists until my health situation at hand is under control. It has been a long past few days, and the ones following will be just as much of a struggle, but I can do this. And I believe that wholeheartedly. If I believe in it, so should you. I’m sorry to anyone who missed the last two shows of our tour. I would have much rather been there than a hospital bed, I assure you. Love to everyone, band, family, you. I’m never giving up. Thanks for being there for me. Waking up over and over in the middle of the night, or the nurses helping me pee, reading the tweets help.
Blabbermouth previously reported that Carlil had an enlarged aorta valve and had to have surgery in 2010, causing similar cancellations.
Our thoughts are with Carlile for a speedy recovery.
