ANTHRAX Drummer Underwent Surgery For Carpal Tunnel

Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante recently underwent a successful surgery for his carpal tunnel syndrome recently, to no detriment of the band! Hooray!

Anthrax recently posted up a photo of Charlie on their Facebook with the statement:

Surgeon fixed my hand, nothing broken, just carpel tunnel…behind my Anthrax drum kit soon, 9/13 in San Bernardino

So at least the guy is going to be okay, but still… having carpal tunnel as a drummer must be rough as hell.

Just doing a quick Google search on carpal tunnel and the surgeries involved, it seems like nothing ever really makes the symptoms and everything go away completely. So as much as it sucks that Charlie is going to have to deal with it for the rest of his life, we all still wish him a speedy recovery! Especially with shows on the horizon!

Anthrax are opening for Iron Maiden next month with a killer lineup that also features Overkill and Testament. More info here.
