Behemoth - Nergal Diagnosed With A Serious Illness
Original news, published on 08.08.2010
Earlier today Behemoth frontman Adam Darski, aka Nergal, was brought to the hospital in Gdansk, Poland. He was diagnosed with a serious illness, the nature of which hasn't yet been revealed. He was admitted to the hematology ward, which indicates a blood disorder of some sort. Understandably, Behemoth had to cancel all the upcoming shows this year.
In a statement on the band's website, Nergal wrote the following (translated by Google): "I do not want to bore you with details, but I can no longer hide the fact that I am seriously ill and waiting for my multi-stage treatment, which can take up to several months. Thus, we cancel the coming summer festivals, the tour of Russia and the Baltic States planned for September and October, and the November tour of the USA.
I know that this is not the best news for you, but health is important. I've got a rather difficult period, and a lot of work, but steel becomes hardened in the fire, isn't it? You know me, so that you know that I'll get out of this stronger than ever. Then all the concerts also will go ahead as plan. At this time, I feel good, my head is focused to fight the disease, everything is under control by professionals. I have with me the most wonderful and loving woman, family, team, managers and people from publishing companies who are doing everything to support me. I do not ask you for more than just a little bit of patience. I would add that the fact that in the near future we will not be touring does not mean that Behemoth gets into hibernation. We have a lot to offer you in the coming months, Behemoth will work on many other fronts."
More news as we get it.
UPDATE
Metal Underground is reporting that the Behemoth mastermind has been diagnosed with leukemia. Further, it's also being reported by the Polish celeb website TVP that it has advanced past the point where chemotherapy would be an effective form of treatment and Darski will need a bone marrow transplant. His awesome fiance Doda has donated marrow to see if she is a match.

Written by Ander on 10.08.2010 at 16:34 Polish TV reported that, seemingly. He was sent to the Haematology Branch of the hospital so that almost certainly means a blood, bone marrow or lymph system disorder such as leukemia, lymphoma, or Hodgkin's disease. All of that sucks major balls.

Written by fazzeh on 10.08.2010 at 18:46 Well, let us pray (the irony) for Hodgkin's disease then. It has a 90% survival rate, even when discovered at an advanced stage. Anything else would suck major balls indeed.

This is actually something I can relate to. My mother needed a bone marrow transplant a few years ago and luckily a match was found all the way in Germany. I hope Adam will be as lucky in finding a match and willing donor as she was.

Nergal is 33 - just 3 years older than me. This is a tragedy for anyone and especially for one so young. Hold on there Adam Darski! Fight this thing and show us all that it can be done! And Doda, take care of our boy!

I never liked Behemoth's music but all my best wishes to Nergal. Let's hope he will overcome this and recover. It's a terrible illness. And to believe he's 5 years younger than me...It's very sad.

I am a Behemoth fan, but even if I wasnt, my thoughts would still be with Nergal. It would be a terrrible shame and a waste, if he was to die so young. Here's hoping he pulls through. <3
