Francesco Paoli, the 36-year-old guitarist and vocalist for Fleshgod Apocalypse, has been hospitalized after suffering “severe injuries,” including “several fractures,” as the result of a rock climbing accident.
Says the band in a statement:
“Last Saturday, August 21st, our singer Francesco Paoli suffered severe injuries while rock climbing the Gran Sasso mountains in Abruzzo, Italy. Despite suffering several fractures, Francesco is currently stable at a local hospital while receiving treatment for his injuries.
“In light of this, Fleshgod Apocalypse is forced to cancel their Cremona, Italy show at ‘Road to Luppolo’ scheduled this Sunday the 29th. More details will be shared as soon as we have more info available.”
No additional details are available at this time, but you’ll know more as soon as we do. In the meantime, here’s hoping Paoli is alright and has a speedy recovery.
