EVILE Guitarist's Jaw Wired Shut For Two Weeks

December 8, 2008

Guitarist Ol Drake of UK thrashers EVILE, who fractured his jaw on November 19 following the band's show in Rotterdam, Netherlands, has issued the following update:

"A few weeks on now and I'm slowly recovering. Lost some weight from the difficulty in eating, trying to get energy back as much as possible. The wound on my chin turned out to be infected, so got antibiotics on that. Went to the maxillofacial... thing at the hospital today (eventually got an appointment) and they've wired my jaw shut for two weeks. I was told this should have been done straight away (at A&E in Rotterdam) but it wasn't. It's apparently slightly too late for the wiring to work to full effect (?) but they've done it anyway. I look forward to more inability to consume food stuffs.

"Please send all two-week silence jokes to my MySpace page. I allow everyone to laugh and/or call me 'Jaws.'"

For more information on the incident and Ol's blow-by-blow description of what happened, go to EVILE's MySpace page.
