Satyricon frontman diagnosed with tumor

2015-10-06 by dragoth | 19 Comments
Satyricon frontman Satyr Wongraven has announced his recent diagnoses of a brain tumour. In a statement he states that the tumour is benign and is not currently life threatening, but will require him to take time of. The statement is below:

"I’m going home. I got extremely sick 8 days ago and was rushed to hospital. Scans have shown that there is a blind passenger in my head. Most likely it is benign. I can live with it as long as it does not grow bigger. Removing it is extremely complicated and should only be done if it grows into a size where it is a matter of life and death. We all get our set of cards and this happened to be one of mine. There are so many people who have to deal with much worse things than I do, so I do not feel sorry for myself. I have a great family, lots of friends, Satyricon, Wongraven Wines and many people who support my endeavours all over the world. I will spend the next two weeks trying to get my strength back, then try to starting writing on the new Satyricon again and pick up where I left on all my wine projects."

This kind of blows, but if it's not life threatening atm then I guess that's good at least.

Well as long as it isn't cancerous he should be ok. I know someone who just recently had one removed. Scary stuff.

Just the concept in itself an the potential for danger has to be upsetting. Also their first four records destroy pretty much everything in their path.
