Jimmy Eat World guitarist, Tom Linton, fell during their concert with Green Day in Madrid, Spain. Here is a message from Zach Lind, their drummer, off the band's website: "Yes, this is true. Tom had a seizure and stumbled off the stage injuring himself with a head wound and bleeding very badly. It happened during our second song of the night. He fell down a five foot drop and took a very nasty fall. He was attended to and rushed to a hospital by an ambulance and we're happy to report that he is feeling much better. He is still in the hospital undergoing tests, but is feeling a bit back to normal. Thank you very much to Green Day and their Madrid fans for being very understanding and supportive. As of now we have not cancelled any appearances in Europe, but that could change depending on the doctor's orders for Tom. Thanks for concern and please keep Tom and his family in your thoughts." Oh wow!
I hope he makes a quick recovery. I wonder how this will effect him in the future because people that get seizures don't just get them once, they'll usually get them every once and a while.
I wonder if he has ever gotten a lot of seizures in the past. Well, hope he's okay. I don't know much about seizures... wonder what causes them. ???
Well, they've got all kinds of lighting on the stage, so that could be it. I wonder if the band will have to call it quits because of that. I guess they could borrow Jason White from Green Day, but I have no idea what goes on with that kind of stuff, so...yeah.
Oh my God, that sounds terrible! But I'm glad that he's fine, and hopefully he'll make a quick and full recovery. My heart stopped for a moment because seizures scare the shit out of me. I wonder as well what caused the seizure.
