And let the conspiracy theories begin....Is Dan really sick, or did that fight between Frankie and Scott really happen?

 

[Gibba]

I can tell you for a fact that there was no fight.

 

[TitVipers]

I wonder what's wrong with Dan? Especially since he's the youngest and healthiest looking of the bunch. Maybe it's that mysterious "Bus Lung" that Scott's talked about in the past...

Why am I seriously concerned here? On Dan's Twitter page he's changed his name from DanNAnthrax to DanNelson76, and his last post is "Dan Nelson is done". Now there's the cancelled shows.

I really hope I'm not being stupid and paranoid.

[mrthrax]

PEOPLE GET SICK, except when we do we don't have to sing in front of thousands of people, we just call in and no big deal. He'll get better and the machine will roll on.

This is the kind of stuff that happens when you put pussy singers in your band.

This looks bleak.

Hopefully if this is what it looks like it could be, they manage to talk John Bush into rejoining the fold and re-record the vocals at the last minute on the album.

 

[mrthrax]

im guessing his drinking is causing problems,they are quite a professional band,even though they party a lil bit themselves

 

[Stormwatch]

Ha ha ha! Maybe Joey will agree to come back?

 

[Deege]

Yeah this doesn't look good for Anthrax.

The only alternate theory I can think of would be that maybe he checked himself into rehab and the "is done" comment was referring to being done with drinking, rather than being done with Anthrax?

But that doesn't explain why he deleted his DanNAnthrax account after posting "is done."
