Dave Wyndorf of MONSTER MAGNET overdoses - Tour Cancelled

Guess who bought tickets to the Monster Magnet gig in Oslo on the 23rd of March yesterday... Yup, your's truly.

This is the official statement from the band's label SPV :

“ The battle with one’s inner demons is the most personal fight any of us can undertake. The fight is at times a lonely, confusing journey. On the evening of February 27, Dave Wyndorf suffered a set back in his own fight and was hospitalized due to a drug overdose. His full recovery is expected.

We ask that all those he has encountered over the years or simply affected by his music to take a moment to think good thoughts of and for him. With the grace of God and those who love him we are all confident that Dave will rebound from this set back and continue to play and make great rock and roll.”

Boring fact: This is the second time a Monster Magnet gig is cancelled in Oslo.
