Now that clears things up...I wondered if there was something serious going on behind the scenes and now we know.

Not that I'm a fan of MMA but didn't Brock Lesnar have the same thing a couple years ago? He almost died before they figured out what was wrong.

Good luck with everything Eddie, and I fervently hope you do get back on tour next year.(Hopefully schedule a stop here as well, VH is well loved in this part of the world.)

Hope Ed's feeling better soon. Health first, then band.
