SHADOWS FALL Drummer Jason Bittner Cancels Appearance At PASIC 2012 - "I Was Poked, Prodded, Tested And It Turns Out I Have Acute Pancreatitis"
October 31, 2012, 12 years ago
SHADOWS FALL drummer Jason Bittner has cancelled his scheduled appearance at PASIC 2012, the convention running now through November 4th in Austin, TX.
Bittner has posted the following message: "Due to my recent health issues, I am under doctors orders to cancel my trip to Austin, TX this week to perform at PASIC 2012. For over a week, what I thought was a stomach bug (and I was still on tour when all of this started), I came home last week and went to the doctors, and it was written off as just that, a bug. This past Saturday the pain came back and lingered into Sunday which forced me into the Emergency Room yesterday.
After a day in the hospital I was poked, prodded, tested and it turns out I have acute Pancreatitis, which I'm told can be very serious if left untreated. They're not sure what brought it on (my Dr thinks it was viral), but I have been told by my doctors to not leave this week because I need to sent for more tests/MRI, etc to make 100% sure I'll be road ready for the second leg of the SF tour which starts November 8th.
I should be fine, but needless to say I'm very disappointed I will not be able to come perform in Austin this week! Maybe Pasic 2013??"
