The Ghost Inside vocalist suffers new setback

You may recall that two weeks ago The Ghost Inside frontman Jonathan Vigil underwent surgery after a screw protruded from his ankle unexpectedly, the result of previous surgery necessitated by the band's November 2015 tour bus crash. The new surgery was an attempt to prevent another bone infection. Unfortunately, the attempt to stave off infection failed. Vigil had the following to say:
"My ankle bone has another infection from the screw dislodging and coming out of the skin. Another six weeks of intravenous antibiotics. Another six weeks without progression. Another six weeks away from a seemingly simple goal of being able to just walk on my own again. "I've been put to the test many, many times during this ordeal. We all have. You would think that after nearly 7 months we would be back to normal, but we're not. Actually far from it. "I've always been the one to wear a smile on my face with the mantra 'everything will be alright'. I've spent a lot of time wavering with this belief. More than I care to admit. I can sympathize more now with the other side because I've been the one for so long thats been on the pedestal. The one that has the easy job of saying 'there, there. It's ok'. But now I'm the one living it and I know just how difficult it can be. "I've had my words shoved back in my face. And now it's time to put my money where my mouth is. I just didn't know how hard it would be but I'd like to think I'll come out stronger.

your drummer lost his leg and he's maintained an awesome attitude.. stop crying.

anonymous 6/7/2016 6:55:21 AM

I don't care about this band one bit but Celine is such an insufferable tryhard. I would legitimately beat the shit out of him.

anonymous 6/7/2016 7:17:41 AM

Celine is still butthurt about that awful twitching tongues review he got called on, album was shit but his tryhard review was even worse. But back to topic , someone has it out for this guy maybe he's a kiddie diddler or something and this is karma

anonymous 6/7/2016 7:52:48 AM

Shitty. On another note, this reminded me of how awesome Bone Sickness is.

Those antibiotics will stop working eventually. This could get worse.

anonymous 6/7/2016 9:35:27 AM

Vigil, you were a piece of shit in high school(yes, I remember you at ESHS) and I hope you die. There, I said it.

anonymous 6/7/2016 9:54:13 AM

I foresee an amputation :(

anonymous 6/7/2016 10:00:16 AM

Shitty person or not, no one deserves to be put through that. Real talk, any one of us would be saying everything but "shits getting better." Now someone do that kid a favor and introduce him to weed. I also got a franklin on dude moshes with one foot after.

anonymous 6/7/2016 10:07:34 AM

Thinking of the family are stoked

anonymous 6/7/2016 10:14:02 AM

Scott Vogel is stoked.

anonymous 6/7/2016 10:33:33 AM

Lol @ that guy calling vigil a piece of shit in high school. Lol @ the guy, not his comment.

As much as I don't like the direction this band ended up taking, as a person suffering from adult-onset epilepsy I can absolutely relate to the what the dude is saying, makes me glad to have seen/supported them as much as I did as a kid. Best of luck, John!

anonymous 6/7/2016 12:05:53 PM

Not news. Quit making money off this band. DELETE this article now or I will be officially COMPLAINING about this article.

anonymous 6/7/2016 3:11:13 PM

Easy to hide behind a keyboard, jealous trolls. I'd like to see you survive an ordeal like this, and take the bone out yourself and hold it up to the camer.

anonymous 6/7/2016 4:44:38 PM

anonymous 6/8/2016 5:51:06 AM

oh well he should have plenty of GoFundMe cash laying around to take care of it. Not news. Article could just simply be titled "Guy has problem with foot, gets it looked at and taken care of."

celine 6/8/2016 8:20:25 AM

Here's my address: I hope he dies

anonymous 6/10/2016 4:05:10 AM

celine2 days ago lol @ some anonymous homo trying to take shots You act like you're not anonymous, jerk. According to you, you're not even secure enough with yourself to show your "visage." Sick word. Go fck yourself dude.

anonymous 6/10/2016 8:50:08 PM

Cant wait for Warped 2017 to see a literal band of crash test dummies flop around on stage.

celine 6/11/2016 12:27:12 PM

why is this anonymous homo putting quotations around "visage", is it ironic or something? p.s. still hope he dies

anonymous 6/20/2016 4:28:11 PM
