Linkin Park Frontman Needs Surgery

Chester Bennington of Linkin Park is almost certain to need surgery for the stomach and chest pains which recently put him in hospital. Doctors believe the cause is either a parasite or an intestinal disorder, and once the exact nature of the problem has been determined then the frontman is likely to undergo an operation. As a result, Linkin Park have cancelled all commitments in June. But they’re confident that Bennington will be ready for the Summer Sanitarium tour with Metallica, limpbizkit and Deftones; this starts on July 4.

And by "positive" you should read "hope", as if they don't even know what the cause is, they can't very well be positive about anything, now can they?
