In a story that may sadden the hearts of music fans across the world, according to LOUDWIRE, Austin Carlile, a former member of Of Mice & Men, will be undergoing a long and painful procedure that will help him battle the effects of Marfan syndrome. For those who don’t know, Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue. The connective tissue holds holds the body’s cells, organs, and tissue together. It also plays a very important role in assisting the body with growth and development.
The treatment will take place over a number of months and consists of one-to-two dozens shots per week into the body of Carlile. Last year, Carlile revealed that he would be leaving the Of Mice & Men group due to the tears he had in his spine that have left him unable to scream into the microphone.
“My team advised me that if I continued to do so, it would cause permanent and irrevocable damage to my spinal cord and nervous system,”
“After learning this, I realized that I had to step away from Of Mice & Men, no longer able to scream most of our old material, or continue to scream on anything new. I cannot continue on.”
