Wife posts on Facebook

Steve Grimmett's wife wrote today on the band's official Facebook page that the vocalist will undergo another surgery, necessary to remove a larger part of his leg. Check out the post:

"I regret to inform you that tomorrow morning Steve will have to undergo another operation to remove a larger portion of his right leg. The open wound isn't healing as it should because of a blocked artery above his knee. So they will remove the area above the blockage, hoping that enough blood can flow to ease the wound. I'll let you know how it goes when I find out."

We're always fighting with Steve. Love and hugs, Millie.

Grimmett had to have his leg amputated last week while touring South America due to an infection. Millie Grimmett said that although Steve had travel insurance, the company will not cover the costs of the amputation surgery, which cost $6,000. An official crowdfunding campaign has been started to help with the costs; click here to see the initiative.
