Read the testimony.
Sigurd “Satyr” Wongraven, the vocalist of the Norwegian black metal band Satyricon, announced yesterday on his Instagram that he has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. Check out the statement:
“I got very sick eight days ago and was rushed to the hospital. Images showed there’s a passenger in my head. It’s most likely benign. I can live with it, as long as it doesn’t get bigger. Removing it would be extremely complicated and should only be done if it grows to the point of becoming a matter of life or death. We all get our cards right, and these are mine. Many people have to deal with much worse things than this, so I don’t feel too sorry for myself. I have a great family, many friends, Satyricon, Wongraven Wines, and many people who support these initiatives around the world. I’ll spend the next few weeks recovering my strength and then start working on the new Satyricon album.”.
Satyricon's latest album, which bears the band's name, was released in September 2013.
