One of Century Media Record’s big signings from 2010 was electronica/metalcore group Vampires Everywhere! Recently, though, the band’s singer Michael Vampire fell ill, which forced the band to miss numerous dates of their current tour with Brokencyde. While at the time no reason was given for their absence, the singer himself issued a statement regarding what all took place:

“Hello Evil Ones,

I am writing to update all of you on my current situation regarding tour & my health. I have been in the hospital for over a week. During The Death Race Tour, I noticed my arm was swollen which progressed throughout the tour. The day of our Atlanta show, I was feeling horrible and asked the band to drive me to the hospital, which I thought was going to be an in and out experience. It turns out my arm was infected badly & needed immediate surgery. Thus VE! had no choice but to cancel tour dates until i was fully recovered. I am being released from the hospitaL this week and I am feeling much better! We will catch up with the Death Race Tour in Denver at the Marquee Theatre, which I am very excited for! I appreciate all your support during this horrible experience. I will never forget your evil love! See you all on the last leg of The Death Race Tour and our upcoming Horror Nights 2011 tour with Aiden, Eyes Set To Kill, Dr. Acula and Get Scared!”

A swollen arm, eh? Guess it’s only fitting that while Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman was sidelined by an infected spider bite, the singer from Vampires Everywhere! should get bitten by a vampire. Though glad to hear that the singer is making a speedy recovery. You can check out the rundown of upcoming Vampires Everywhere! shows after the jump. The group’s new album comes out May 17.
