Oh Gabriel Ba, I thought you were a good man. How dare you become part of MCR's twisted, insensitive ways of lies and deceit!!!

just kidding. kind of

So it wasn't clear, did he need a surgery or do you guys think he's just taking meds? Anybody an expert?

I assumed that he was just taking medication, I never got the impression that Gerard needed surgery or anything that kind of drastic. Then again, our boys are kind of workaholics to the point where they don't really pay attention to their health. Rolling Eyes xD

Definitely glad that he's on his way back to full recovery, or that he's already reached that point. (: Thanks for the info, Gabriel.

I hope to god he doesn't need surgery. I'll be so worried for him. Poor guy. Im sure Lindsays a bit upset.
Perhaps Bandits helping him out. >< Aww.

...I also wish he didnt have to be on Meds. In a sad way, I just dont trust him with taking medication.

...Dont look at me like that. Its just my opinion. Im not being drastic. I'm not flippin' out. I know hes a responsible adult...but y'know. It happened once.

MY POINT IS. I just hop he gets better and whatevers helping him acctually fucking works.

I doubt he needs surgery, I think Frank would have hinted at it. Gerard didn't have any medical problems before, and I doubt what they're giving him involves high dosage pain killers. It's probably something to help the crap going on in his throat and stuff.

He isn't having surgery.

Just saying, I think a few people are being a bit overdramatic. He's not gravely ill. He's having problems hitting the right notes is all. That's what happens to singers who smoke. It affects some sooner or worse than others. I hope, for his sake, it's motivation enough to quit.

This coming from an Aussie who had tickets to see them. I don't mind. I'd rather they come back when he can actually sing well.

I was just asking because some throat issues require a surgery of some sort, so I was curious. I wasn't asking because I thought he was dying of the plague or something. It doesn't specifically say in the blog what the issues were, so obviously some people (such as myself) will wonder. I'm not crying myself to sleep over it.

Even minor throat issues can involve some kind of surgery. You can't rule it out. I mean, I'm sure he'll be fine but at the same time it isn't uncommon for singers to need procedures like that sometimes.

Also, I think he'll be fine with the meds. I mean, he has a baby and a wife now. It's not 2002 anymore.

Well it is their life, their choice to tell us or not tell us... it would have probably been announced without the blogs if they didn't have them.

I'll say what I said in the PLOTB constantly: They don't have to tell us anything at all. It's their choice, they aren't obliged to post every major detail of their life.

We would have known because it's also posted on the Soundwave site.

I suspect (as a classically trained singer) that it is vocal strain and has nothing to do with smoking, and does not require surgery. Unfortunately, vocal strain does mean that complete vocal rest is needed, but it rarely has any lasting effects as long as that rest is taken. Chances are, the 'treatment' he's getting is plenty of orange juice, water and sleep. It's not serious, and should completely clear up in a short amount of time.

I was waiting for the new conspiracies to come along. I can say I'm not disappointed, Frankie may be putting a little special wonder out into the world.

I doubt Gerard needs surgery, just rest. He's in his 30's, a heavy smoker and from what I've read from articles about the new album he's screaming a lot through out it. Apparently that kinda shenanigans can really affect some dude's throat, especially if he has an accent.......and a pot laugh.

Our little boys OK, he just needs some good rest, so leave him to his comic books, Star Wars figurines and chicken noodle soup and just send good thoughts his way.

It probably wasn't a lie, he most likely tried and gave up
