OPETH Mainman Recovering From Chicken Pox

June 29, 2008

OPETH mainman Mikael kerfeldt has issued the following update:

"Well, first up, thanks to everyone who's been writing me and wishing me a swift recovery from the chicken pox. I'm feeling better today, but still will have to take some pills for another few days. It's been horrible to say the least! Fucking horrible!

"I took some pictures of myself when I was feeling the worst, and it's not a pretty sight! I could qualify for any zombie movie, and I wouldn't even need any make up.

"Either way, feeling better today and I'm hoping I can play the next show as scheduled. It's a highly contagious disease so I'm hoping I haven't contaminated anyone else during the last few trips. Speaking of which, we've had a blast playing Turkey and France (Hellfest)! Both were awesome shows and had a lot of people checking us out! Amazing!

"So sorry for the cancelled gigs, especially the ones in my home country since we rarely play here! Hrrni! Jag r ledsen, men det ordnar sig. Snart ska vi rocka tillsammans som Jerry Williams 1964!

"Family is doing well, I feel sorry for my wife who now has three kids to take care of, and I'm like the worst kid from hell when I'm sick. She's been a trooper and I am so fucking lucky to have her! Melinda and Mirjam have recovered totally from the pox and are doing just fine.

"I emailed a list of songs that I want us to go through for the upcoming headlining tours to the other guys. Let me say it's a pretty massive list, maybe 30-40 songs, and very exciting ones too! We'll see which ones sound the best at rehearsals. Can't wait!

"OK, let me leave you all with another thank you and hope to see ya soon!"
