"So I made it out alive," posts Stryper frontman Michael Sweet on his Facebook page.

"Colonoscopy: Perfecto! Nothing at all. Next one in 10 years.

Endoscopy: Hiatal hernia causing reflux causing esophageal ring. They stretched my esophagus and I'll try to drink a little less coffee.

On a funny note, I went in and put that glamorous hospital robe on, got wheeled into the room for the procedures and as I was talking to the nurses one of them says 'I listen to you all the time on Hair Nation! Look over there!' As I turn to look there is a picture of Stryper up on a computer screen. I just said 'that makes me feel much better.'

They ask me to sing a little and I sang something but I have no idea what I sang! So, a nurse who is a fan who listens to Stryper on Hair Nation daily knows a little more about me than I'd prefer. Anyway, I'm home now and I'm feeling like eating something good."

In other news, Sweet & Lynch – Stryper vocalist Michael Sweet and  Lynch Mob / Dokken guitarist George Lynch – will release their sophomore album this fall via Frontiers Records.
