As previously reported, Malevolent Creation guitarist Phil Fasciana was recently placed in an induced coma after being hospitalized with bacterial pneumonia. Fortunately, he has since confirmed that he will be released next week.
Fasciana said the following:
“Seeing posts like this freaked me out but things like this reach a lot of people. As of today August 1st I am having the last of my tests and if all is good I will be released on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I dont know how I contracted this bacteria but my lungs were filled with blood for some time now.
I have to see doctors every month concerning injuries I received in a car accident in 2021 and none of the doctors I see that check your blood as well as other vitals never detected anything. Even after complaining about just generally feeling constantly sick and having tons of xrays, mri’s and just general routine doctor visits.
The French doctors knew immediately and after being in a coma for 8 days I was told what was going on and of course I laughed and said yeah right! One of the doctors asked me to spit on the ground and I did and sure as shit it was pure blood. My lungs were filled with blood and i was dying. A lot of work had to be done to clear up my lungs and a lot of strong antibiotics.
But right now I am getting ready for a bunch of tests concerning my black heart. If all goes well I will be flying home on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks to my band members Ronnie Parmer Jesse Jolly Chris Cannella for saving my life and all the people around the world for your kind words. I have to take things day to day but I will be on tour with Krisiun in Brazil in September and our North American Tour in October. What a wild ride i had to experience the last 4 weeks but im back baby!!!”
