Slipknot's Bassist Explains Mid-Set Hospitalization
Update (8/4): Sunday night Slipknot bassist Alex 'VMan' Venturella was rushed offstage in the middle of a gig. The cause of his collapse was unknown at the time, even by the band. Now Slipknot has released a clarifying statement:
"After a medical emergency during last night's show, we are relieved to let everyone know that our bass player, Alex 'V-Man' Venturella, is well on the road to recovery. Alex collapsed mid-set after feeling unwell and as a precautionary measure was taken to hospital where he was found to be suffering from severe dehydration. After recuperating overnight, he has now been discharged from hospital and is on his way back to his Slipknot family. All being well, Alex will be back onstage with us tomorrow in Mansfield, MA. We thank everyone who reached out with messages and well wishes for Alex and we look forward to be being back at full tilt for the rest of the Summer's Last Stand tour."
