Murder One singer Paul Catten nearly died during routine surgery. The band has issued the following update:

"The future of Murder One continued to be cursed as vocalist Paul Catten recently ended up on a Life Support Machine after routine surgery for his appendix went terribly wrong.

Paul was taken into hospital for suspected appendicitus shortly before xmas. After 24 hours observation it was decided to carry out the normally routine surgery on the Sunday morning. At 12 30pm on the Sunday, Paul was given a full anaesthetic and immediately suffered a severe allergic reaction, which resulted in a cardiac arrest. Once resuscitated and his condition stabilised, the appendix was removed and Paul was put into a drug-induced coma for 24 hours and kept on a Life Support Machine for the duration. He eventually woke at 9 30pm on the Monday. He remained in hospital for several days as to recover from both trauma and surgery.

He is now fully recovered, though still shaken and currently looking forward to the bands tour with Textures in late Feb.

The curse continues.

I thought the dude saw something after death, because the title says N.D.E...well it seems that it does not cover that. But at least he made it. That's an happy ending in my book.
