Austin Carlile has to go through multiple surgeries again – read his update on how the first one went
October 23, 2016
The past two years have been extremely tough for Austin Carlile. No one would wish for their worst enemy as many surgeries and complications as Of Mice & Men frontman has to suffer. Over the weekend, the singer took to Twitter to post a few important updates on his health.
Of Mice & Men were bound to cancel the rest of their European tour, as Carlile had to go back to hospital for multiple surgeries and could not physically go on with the trek. In the updates, the singer shared some details of the medical procedures he’s currently going through.
Carlile’s post as of October 21 said he had the first of a few surgeries, the procedure called blood patching in order to “fix the three major tears” in his spine. The following post revealed that the surgery was successful, and the only thing the singer needed afterwards was resting and sleeping.
But that was just the first step of the way. Carlile wrote that on Monday or Tuesday the doctors will move on to fixing the other tears in his low spine, base of neck and head.
To support Carlile through this and make his stay at the hospital less boring, his mates from Linkin Park and DC Comics have sent him a lot of gifts, which you can see in the Instagram posts below.
