Slipknot: health issue keeps guitarist from tour
Sunday, July 01, 2012 8:56 AM PT
Slipknot has announced that guitarist
Jim Root will miss a portion of the
Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour due to health issues. Here's the official word:
"We're sorry to announce that our brother, Jim Root, will not be performing with us at Mayhem today in San Bernardino due to serious health issues. Jim has been seriously sick for the past two weeks and went to the hospital last week where he was advised that his appendix burst a couple weeks before and that it could have been life threatening. Jim is at home recovering and is awaiting surgery to have pieces of his appendix removed and hopes to join the tour as soon as he is able. Slipknot will continue to headline the Mayhem Festival and all other shows. We refuse to let our fans down and will not miss a single date. We will miss Jim greatly and our thoughts are with him. Jim sends his love to each and every one of our fans."

least he has a real health issue, and is telling everyone as to why he's not staying home. Unlike every other band who just gives some foggy ass answer

Actually that's medically impossible. You have minutes to hours at best after a burst appendix before lovely infections start to happen. Either his appendix burst at the hospital or someone's lying about something. You don't live for weeks after a burst appendix without medical intervention

John Cena is not stoked. On the other hand, The Rock is beyond stoked.

So what you guys are saying is: the only way to survive a burst appendix for several days is to do lots of coke? Fuck, all you bitches talking shit to each other is making me want to buy discount electronics from gocheapsky.com
