(Metal Hammer) Of Mice & Men frontman Austin Carlile has been admitted to hospital after the band were forced to cancel the remainder of their European tour this week
Carlile underwent life-changing heart surgery following complications from the genetic disorder, Marfans last year. But he'll now undergo further tests after reporting that it was "unsafe for me to continue on in this state of health" while on the road.
Carlile says: "As most of you know, I battle daily with a rare fibrostic connective tissue disorder called Marfan syndrome. Due to recent issues arising from this, we have cancelled the remainder of our European tour.
"It breaks my heart but the band and myself have decided it was unsafe for me to continue on in this state of health. I'm being admitted to Stanford University hospital where my specialists have been informed and are prepared to figure out what exactly is wrong.
"I will remain there as long as needed to run tests and come up with an assessment of what exactly is causing my body and heart to seize up." Read more here.
