Sevendust’s Morgan Rose thanks fans for support in statement from hospital

Credit: Travis ShinnSevendust‘s Morgan Rose has shared his first statement since it was announced earlier this week that the drummer had been hospitalized, forcing the Atlanta metallers to drop off their upcoming U.K. tour with Alter Bridge and Shinedown.

In an Instagram post featuring a selfie taken in a hospital bed, Rose writes thanks fans for their “thoughts and prayers.”

“I’m humbled by all the attention,” Rose says. “A little uncomfortable to be be honest. Lol.”

Rose doesn’t elaborate on the exact nature of his condition, only that he’s about to go into surgery.

“Honestly I’m a little scared, but I’m ready to figure out what’s wrong,” he writes. “Hopefully this will give us some answers.”

Sevendust plans to close out 2019 with a trio of acoustic shows around the holidays. Those dates are so far still set to happen as scheduled.
