June 6, 2003 / Update on Chester Bennington
Mike Shinoda has revealed details about Chester Bennington's hospitalization beginning last Friday when Chester was struck with severe back pains and spasms. Mike said that doctors are still trying to find out what caused his collapse but they believe Chester has a problem with his upper stomach and abdomen.
"They did an MRI. It’s not in his head, it’s not in his brain," he said. "They’ve tested everything and narrowed the area down to his lower abdomen they say that that’s a place where it’s hard to get a diagnosis by."
He added, "You know they can put cameras to check your stomach, they can check your lower areas, but that lower abdomen is a place where they can’t really send anything in there so they have to just do these scans and tests."
Mike also said that Chester will face surgery once the cause of his problems is discovered.
A spokesperson for the band said, "All touring and video shoot plans in Europe have been put on hold this month as we make sure Chester fully recovers... We wish him the best, and will keep everyone posted as to his condition." Their European touring in June has been cancelled.
If you’d like to send your get well wishes to Chester- email him at [email protected]. Thank you to everyone on the messageboards and those who have emailed him wishing him well and showing your support.
