Successful Surgery For Original BREAKER Vocalist
April 17, 2008, 16 years ago
Original BREAKER vocalist Jim Hamar is home recovering from successful surgery this week. Doctors last week diagnosed Hamar with 'vocal cord fold polyps' and immediately scheduled surgery. Hamar was forced to cancel his special reunion performances with BREAKER this summer at the Bang Your Head festival in Balingen, Germany. With Hamar's support and backing, current Breaker vocalist Greg Wagner will replace him and all performances will go on as scheduled. The recovery and rehabilitation time will extend through the entire summer.
"Dr Mournay said the surgery was a complete success, and I have 3 pages of instructions to follow to begin my recovery", says Hamar who had the operation done in a Cleveland-area hospital. "No real pain though. I have a discomfort that feels like I have something caught in my throat, but I can deal with it. Time to turn the page and start the long road back!"Once back to full health, Hamar would like to do something special for Breaker fans together with the band to make-up for the canceled reunion. He also plans to begin recording with NIGHTCRAWLER.
