news life in black cradle of filth

Today, March 15th, CRADLE OF FILTH guitarist James McIlroy underwent the delicate operation to repair his spine - the very thing that has kept him absent from the recent tour of Europe, and caused him so much pain over playing the last few years. Pressed, though obviously not too heavily, on the subject, James had this to say when he emailed yesterday with the news...

"Anyway I am going into hospital today as they've graciously decided to give me a bed, and will be going into surgery tomorrow late morning or early afternoon. Operation lasts about 3-5 hours, and I should be back among the living on Sunday.

All the support, and well wishes from across the world, the band and crewdle has been amazing, and I couldn't wish for more support in my quest to obtain a similar 360 degree head movement of an owl (if you're going to get part of your neck replaced, you may as well upgrade)! After this, I'll also technically be more metal...

Thanks to everyone, and see you on the other side, ready to fucking rock!"
