Current mood:  sad
As many of you may have noticed we had to drop off the last 12 dates of the BMTH tour.

Karl became very ill, we took a few days off, he wasn't getting any better so there was not much more we could do.

We apologize to everyone who had already purchased tickets, planned road trips, booked off work etc etc.

Please take a second to read a little note from Karl:


Dr. Karl's Health Report

First of all, I want to start off by properly thanking each and every one of you who has messaged me and wished me on a fast road to recovery. The feedback and concern shown by you guys really gives me a drive to get my ass back up to par. I've been home for almost a week now. I've been in and out of Doctor's offices and Emergency Rooms, and this is what they've concluded:

I do NOT have MONO.....sort of. Apparently I've had mono over the course of this past year without even knowing it (which would explain me being exhausted 24 hours a day) but that wasn't what was acting up. Finally after my throat swelled up to the point of potential closure, I dragged my ass to the emergency room. After several blood tests and an I.V. put in my arm to re-hydrate me, the doctor plain and simply told me that tonsillitus was causing the severe infection to my throat (imagine having a golf ball with razor blades sticking out of it lodged in your throat), nose and ears.

Estimated recovery time: 2-3 weeks.

So there you have it. Sorry to all the kids that came out to the remainder of the Bring Me The Horizon tour hoping to see us there. This was completely unexpected, and now that I've explained my current situation, you can understand why we took precautions.

Anyway, thanks again guys.

<3 Karl

Thank you for the update. And please, do get better soon. But in all honesty, I was effing pissed to hear that you guys dropped off. I was supposed to see you here in Toronto, and didn't know anything til The Ghost Inside was playing. You guys were the whole reason I even bought a ticket. I was stuck with a bunch of highschool poser emo kids and all I wanted to do was sit and listen to you guys. So the night was a drag, but again, thanks for letting us know what was up. A lot of people wouldn't. Get better soon.

I would like to second that.

for the past 10 months I'd tried my best to get to see Misery Signals live.

This was my first opportunity. I purchased my ticket with high hopes and I spent 3 weeks listening to nothing but Mis Sigs and memorizing every word.

I was disappointed but I truly hope all goes well.

Montreal misses mis sigs.

Tonsillitis sucks balls man. I've had it two or three times in the last 3 years. The doctor told me that to get rid of it completely, to get them removed. But they gave me antibiotics and it's been better ever since. The most recent for me was a couple months ago. Get better soon tho Karl. Controllers is my favorite cd of 2008 by far. I hope you guys come to Oklahoma soon... Take it easy guys.

Hope your feeling better Karl! Glad its not mono bro.


I remember hearing about a week before the show that there was a possibility you guys weren't playing in Boston... getting really down, and then telling myself "na don't worry, they'll be there, 5 days is enough time to recover, right?" Haha well I got to the venue and saw the sign posted that said "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Misery Signals will not be performing tonight." I basically yelled obscenities and had everyone in the lobby look at me like a dumbass, haha.


Bring Me the Horizon was a huge disappointment- they're record owns and they couldn't perform it well live at all. My roommate actually wrote them a message saying "maybe you guys should PRACTICE until you pass out" haha.


All things aside I wanted to let you guys know your still my heroes and your music is still an incredible source of inspiration to me.
PEACE

-Brian
