German metal commandos PRIMAL FEAR have checked in with the following update for their fans in South America: "An important message to all our fans about the South American Tour. Sadly we have to tell you that Mat (Sinner) won't be able to join the band on the forthcoming shows in Argentina and Brazil. Mat lost a fight against a drum riser in London and slashed his right leg in a very evil way. After some more shows, the doctors in Norway planned to have a surgery on his leg because the infection was on a bad level and to prevent a sepsis. Mat is now at home and needs to recover for another 3-4 weeks to avoid any operation. Doctors say it would be a huge risk to sit in a plane for 15 hours - health comes first."

As previously reported, former Skid Row frontman and longtime HardRadio friend SEBASTIAN BACH has joined TWISTED SISTER following the "sudden and unexpected resignation of Twisted Sister's lead singer Dee Snider, brought on by a series of health challenges."
