Rage Guitarist Recovers From Surgery
Taken from the official site:
Hallo. First I would like to say thanks a lot to all, who visited me in hospital during my illness. Also all the inquiries of friends and fans, who were worried about my health, helped me to get better quicker. My blind gut was bursted and infected other organs. After 2 operations (one during dangerous situation to life) and loss of 15 kg weight in 2 weeks, I often thought about the fate of Jason Becker, what a horror thought...
After 1 1/2 months in hospital it's a great feeling, being home again. Now I do sports every day to get fit again. Next week I fly to Korea again to play a concert together with Black Hole at the International Busan Rock Festival, where also Steve Vai & Band is one of the participating bands.
Best regards
Victor Smolski, Rage's guitarist
