Epica - Simone Infected With MRSA
Dear Epica fans,
Since a couple of months I have been struggling with infections and had surgery many times. The doctors didn't know what was wrong with me. After a lot of tests at the hospital they found out that I am infected with MRSA, also known as the hospital bacteria. The treatment of this bacteria comes with a strict hygienic schedule that I have to work through every day. Because of this I will not be able to go on long trips let alone live in a tour bus. Therefore we are forced to cancel most of our shows in February. The shows on the 22nd and 23rd in Lille and Vosselaar we will still do since they are independent shows and very close by. We cannot plan too far ahead since I first have to get rid of the infection and that will take some time. How long it will take we cannot tell at the moment.
We are very sorry that we cannot do these shows. We were all looking forward to this tour and to meet you guys. What I have to focus on now is getting well, so that we will be on the road again as soon as possible. Please check out our site every once in a while for more information on this matter.

Written by Cassian on 11.01.2008 at 08:10 Yes I know... Things like this can take a long while to completely go away, but the good news is that at least she's figured out what has been bothering her so the treatment can start  Sometimes mystery can be just as difficult to deal with as the sickness itself!

Written by LeChron James on 11.01.2008 at 08:48 it's hard to contain a bacterial infection like that in any closely populated area (jails, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, etc). either way i hope she gets better soon!!

Written by b0000mst1ck on 11.01.2008 at 08:54 i know its hard to contain a bacterial infection in densely populated areas. but this kinda bacteria is indigenous to hospitals, an environment thats supposed to be kept as sterile and clean as possible to prevent such illnesses.

Written by LeChron James on 11.01.2008 at 10:00 that's interesting. so if a hospital is supposed to be sterile how can it breed an infection like that?

Written by Bad English on 11.01.2008 at 09:51 It says what MRSA is in the news. It's the so called Hospital Bacteria. Something you almost only can get at hospitals and is quite rare these days. Very common in older days when you didn't have the same hygiene in hospitals. Hope she gets well soon! We want to see her and the guys back in Sweden soon! Glad I got to see them before she got ill, but it's still very sad

That's not cool at all... And unfortunately that's not so hard to get such infection nowadays. You probably better know it under the name of "Staphylococcus"... the bad thing with such shit is that it can be ok but can be really serious too. Here in France (and of course that's just an example, a lot of people suffer of this problem too) the son of the actor Gerard Depardieu (he is also an actor ) has it too and finally lost one of his legs... How pathetic it is to know that you can get these kinds of bacteria in the hospitals...

Written by selken on 11.01.2008 at 14:52 Yes, I'm sorry about that ...! But that's the title the band used on their website and on Simone's official myspace page, and it disturbed me rather quickly too. I figured if the band felt it to be appropriate, then it'd be best if I used the same headline...

Written by b0000mst1ck on 11.01.2008 at 10:20 unless im mistaken, i said hopspitals are SUPPOSED to be kept as sterile as possible. and when something like MRSA is present in a hospital, that means the hospital isnt clean enough.

I hope this infection doesn't leave a scar on Simone's leg. Oh I wish I could be her doctor and treat this infection properly.

BTW, her MRSA was originated by wrong previous therapy. There's absolutely someone to blame... And, please, stop this lemon thing. Vancomicin would do it just fine.

Written by LeChron James on 12.01.2008 at 07:43 Not necessarily, bacterias are getting resistance to antibiotics at rates that no one expect, and this resistances are more common in develop countries.
