Trivium bassist underwent emergency surgery, Malevolence bassist to fill in for European dates

After traveling abroad to Germany to kick off the band's European festival appearances and tour, Trivium bassist Paolo Gregoletto experienced pain in his abdominal region and was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. 

The operation was successful, however, Paola has been instructed to rest for the time being.

In the meantime, Malevolence bassist Josh Baines will fill in for the time being until Gregoletto is able to perform.

Trivium shared the following:

Yesterday, we arrived in Germany from America.  

After experiencing abdominal pain, Paolo needed to be taken to the hospital for emergency hernia surgery late in the night.  

The operation went well and Paolo is recovering.  

Paolo will need to stay under observation for the next few days, and Josh from Malevolence will be filling in for the next few shows.  

Please send your healing energy and love over Paolo's way - you'll be seeing him back on stage in a few days.  

See you tomorrow Wacken!
