the following writing was taken off of the amen message board...i want you guys to read it and repost it with you name added to the bottom!!

We are very sorry to announce that we will be having to postpone our UK dates. As you all know, Casey was never one to take precaution while performing, and an old stage injury that has gone untreated for some time has ruptured and caused Casey to almost lose his life.

We are all very shaken up right now. This could very well have happened 2 weeks from now during a show on the tour, and due to the intensity of AMEN's live shows, it would have most likely resulted in the death of Casey Chaos. We are grateful that it happened at a time when we could address the matter immediately, and feel good to know that casey is on the road to a quick recovery.

This happened as a result of our rigorous rehearsal schedule, and in a strange way, is our wake up call of how hard we have been working to really resurrect and represent what AMEN is about to each one of us. Casey, in fact, wanted to go ahead with the tour against doctor's orders, but the rest of the band and I decided that we would not let him go on without a full recovery under his belt. Doctors' expect the recovery period to be about 8 weeks, which will leave us to begin our European tour (to be announced in a few days) as scheduled. We plan on returning to the UK following this tour, to make up the shows that are being postponed due to Casey's illness. We hope to figure out and announce the make up dates within a couple of weeks, and expect all tickets already purchased to be honored.

Thank you for your continued support.

anyone know if there is any truth behind this?! not that i care greatly but want2 find out all the same.
