Alexi rushed to hospital

kilon · July 4th, 2012, 03:34 AM

“It is with great regret that we are forced to cancel tonight’s show in Oslo as well as tomorrow night’s show in Malmö.

Alexi was rushed to the Oslo hospital earlier this evening with extreme stomach pain. The doctors in the emergency unit checked him and while we are still waiting for a diagnosis, they made clear that he will not be able to perform within the next 48 hours.

We apologize to all our fans who have bought tickets to these shows - we will try to reschedule both Oslo and Malmö at the earliest possibility. Keep your fingers crossed with us that Alexi will get well again soon!”

Henkka, Roope, Janne, Jaska

From facebook.

I hope it's not another ulcer...
Either way get better soon Alexi!

Pikaista paranemista, Alexi

I hope he doesn't fool around with that ulcer if he wants to make another COB album.

During my wild drinking times I guess I developed a light form of gastritis (something that could be called a very light form of ulcer) and after two painful spasm events I went to swallow the camera (it was a beyond horrible operation, if you ever have to do this I feel sorry for you). Well I quit drinking and smoking altogether but there were many other good reasons.

I can almost quarantee you if a person continues unhealthy touring lifestyle with an ulcer, his days are numbered. The key to healing is non-spicy, non-greasy food that's easy for your stomach, no drinking, no smoking, no straining medication, no excess stress. Live healthy and naturally. You just can't live like a rockstar forever and expect not to have problems.

GRRR FFS !! Was all fired up and ready to go for tonights show in Malmo !!1

sleeper666 · July 4th, 2012, 04:22 AM

@ Joonas I've had an endoscopy, too - it really sucked

(no pun intended!). I hope Alexi recovers quickly from this episode, but I agree with you that if he wants to stay healthy, a radical change of lifestyle such as you describe is inevitable and essential

(__Joonas__) · July 4th, 2012, 04:32 AM

Yeah, gastroscopy. It's like trying to swallow a spear for seven minutes. Non-stop puke-reflex.

It's just friend's advice... I hope he doesn't get all butthurt and write another Not My Funeral.

Who knows, maybe he's doing his best, sometimes you can't help it when these things activate. The recent shows have seemed pretty sharp too from what I can tell from the few videos.

Rhia · July 4th, 2012, 05:27 AM

Mabye it's only his appendicitis. Though I guess they'd have figured that out by now.

Doesn't take long to diagnose appendicitis, and if it bursts he would have needed emergency surgery. Mine burst about 20mins before surgery, felt like death.

Fastbodom · July 4th, 2012, 07:16 AM

what the... again ?? believed he had this last year to !.

hopes he get well soon

Same here.. "Felt like death" is pretty weak explanation..

Hope he's going to be fine soon!

Celeb · July 4th, 2012, 08:56 AM

Hoping he'll get better soon. I'm a bit afraid for their gig in Ruisrock to be cancelled but better take it easy if doctors say that he needs more time for rest.

elli · July 4th, 2012, 11:48 AM

I really hope it is nothing bad.
Hope he feels better soon and they find out soon what caused the pain!

mocobhc · July 4th, 2012, 01:23 PM

That sucks, they have been top-notch on Saturday and Alexi seemed in very good shape. Hope it's not as serious

ChockeHoldTerror · July 4th, 2012, 01:32 PM

RRF he said , wish you the best Alexi!

Cat_in_the_rain · July 4th, 2012, 01:53 PM

Have they written the exact diagnosis? Hope Alexi gets well.

Carcarrion · July 4th, 2012, 04:34 PM

Get well soon Alexi, take care.

A little update:

Some finnish guy could translate the article, but just says that Alexi is still in Oslo and something about Ruisrock which I don't understand.

What I managed to understand is that they don't have the right diagnosis yet, but the doctors in Oslo are still making some tests (??) Was there going to be a show in Peru?? Jesus, if so, I missed a lot of news form the band! However, it may be canceled.
That's what I managed to understand.. It won't be bad at all if a Finn translates the entire article- I can't cos I don't have time and I don't think I can do it- not impeccable, sorry.

It's mostly a Finnish translation of the original news on COB's Facebook. The new info is that Alexi is still in Oslo, and the doctors are making some tests. The rest was speculation on will they, or will they not, be performing in Ruisrock on Saturday. The people of Ruisrock said that they haven't received any info that they would not perform and that if the situation was so bad the band would tell them. No mention of Peru

sleeper666 · July 5th, 2012, 09:29 AM

@ hauta

perumaan and peruminen are inflected forms of the Finnish verb perua, which means to cancel or withdraw from something (i.e. in this case, from the shows in Oslo, Malmö and possibly Ruisrock, but not Peru

)

sleeper666 · July 5th, 2012, 11:11 AM

Ruisrock appearance cancelled

http://www.mtv3.fi/viihde/uutiset/mu...medium=twitter

sleeper666 · July 5th, 2012, 11:46 AM

Update from COB's fb

Children Of Bodom is forced to cancel their appearance at the Ruisrock festival. The band comments:

“This is not an easy letter for us to write. Alexi is suffering from a serious infection. He is still in hospital in Oslo under supervision of the doctors and we don’t know yet when they will release him.

We have no choice other than canceling Ruisrock in Turku on Saturday as well. This is a very bitter pill for us to swallow. We had decided to do only two festivals in our homeland this summer to make it real special, and now this.

We hope that we will be able to make up for this very soon. To all our fans who had been looking forward to rock with us at Ruisrock this weekend, take our apologies and enjoy the festival. In our spirits, we will be there, too.”

Henkka, Roope, Janne, Jaska

kilon · July 5th, 2012, 12:25 PM

It was to be expected, really. I think it's better that they cancel Ilosaarirock next week as well, even when Alexi gets released from the hospital this weekend. Simply because he needs all the time in the world to strengthen up and possibly get adjusted to a new lifestyle.
