VANISHING POINT Singer Undergoes Surgery

August 27, 2004

On the morning of August 16, only hours from celebrating his 30th birthday, VANISHING POINT vocalist Silvio Massaro was admitted to St. Vincent Hospital in Melbourne Australia, for surgery on his sinus.

Commented Silvio: "For years now I have been suffering from massive headaches which would literally render me being locked up in a dark room, curled up in a ball, till the pain went away. I'd get a huge build up of congestion in my sinus which would be the main problem of it creating so much pressure being built up, making my head throb! After numerous x-rays and tests we found out my sinus was the main reason why I was getting these bastard headaches all the time.

"I was only in [the hospital] overnight and in for most of the following day. They reconstructed my whole sinus by taking out parts of my skull behind my nose and scarping out cartilage. I have never been in so much pain as I am in now. I feel like someone has swung a baseball bat across my face!"

Regarding when we might be able to see a new CD from VANISHING POINT, Silvio said, "Haha! Good question... Well all will be revealed very soon I hope. There has been a chain of events as of late, which I can't get into for legal reasons, but we will issue some press releases in the next couple of weeks. It's been so frustrating for us lately knowing we have a killer album to release but can't release just yet. We understand and sympathise with our fans' frustrations and for that were sorry. I know they won't be disappointed with the new CD. So I can say with confidence that it's definitely worth the wait!"
