January 28, 2011, 13 years ago
MURDERDOLLS' Joey Jordison has issued the following message:
"Hello to all our fans and friends in France.I'm writing to address the situation which took place in Bordeaux on Thursday night. As it has been seen in videos online, I threw my guitar and walked off stage, I want to clear up what exactly happened.
I have a condition with my ears called Tinnitus, which in my case is very severe, and has been causing me excruciating pain for 2 years now.
That night, in Bordeaux, my Tinnitus was at an extreme. I wanted to come out and play the best show that I could. However due to technical difficulties, and high end feedback that persisted in the monitors, the pain within my ears became unbearable. I tried to attempt to play after I walked off the first time but it got worse.
I'm okay, but i have to watch my ears so as not to cause any permanent damage. I want to apologize to the fans in attendance in Bordeaux, I meant no disrespect whatsoever and I hope that my fans understand this.
Sincerely, Joey Jordison."
