SAVATAGE Mastermind JON OLIVA Reveals He's Been Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis And Meniere's Disease


Hello Savatage Fans,

This is Jon Oliva. I want to set a few things straight for everyone. First of all, I am very excited for Johnny, Chris, Zak, Jeff & Al to play again. I feel it's important for the fans to enjoy our music live, and believe me these guys will kick ass.

As far as I go, I was going to do these shows but unfortunately, I've run into more health issues. I want you all to know that if there was any way I could do these shows I would, but my health issues are more serious than I originally thought. As most of you know I fractured my spine in 3 places and have recently been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis as well as Meniere's Disease. My doctors are working with me to get healthy again.

I am working closely with the guys and will be involved in every other aspect of the show. I am 100 percent behind the guys doing this and I promise I will return asap.

In the meantime, I am working in the studio on new material. I love you all and thank you for understanding my situation, I know my brothers will deliver the goods.

Enjoy Sava Legions, Much love to you all.
- Jon Oliva

SAVATAGE Frontman / Co-Founder JON OLIVA Talks New Studio Album – “I Said It Might Be The Last One, But Now I’m Not Sure”


"...Now, speaking with Brazilian journalist Igor Miranda, Oliva discussed his injuries and plans for a new Savatage album. Following is an excerpt from the chat.

Oliva:
I basically have an album ready. I’ve been working on it off and on. We were talking about touring before my accident. I’ve been working on stuff for about a year. If I get the guys together to record, it’s ready. But we wanted to do this tour first. We have enough for four albums. The lyrics aren’t written yet, but musically, it’s done. And it’s my fault everything stopped because of the fractures.
I said it might be the last one, but now I’m not sure. I have all this material. What am I going to do? Release a quadruple album? I don’t think it will be the last one.

The complete interview is available here...."
