Chiodos Frontman Suicide Update
Chiodos frontman Craig Owens has offered the following statement on reports about him taking an overdose.
“On Sunday, July 20th, I attempted to overdose on prescribed Xanax at my home here in Michigan. Flash ahead 12 hours later, I woke up in the emergency room surrounded by my family and best friends, with an IV in my left arm, and hooked up to machines. I felt confused, angry, selfish, and completely embarrassed. After being admitted to the hospital for a couple of days, I made my way to recovery and built up enough strength and courage with the support of my loved ones enough to make it back home. I am okay, though. Thankfully, I had no permanent physical damage to myself from this.”
Despite this unfortunate chain of events, Chiodos are still expected to hit the road in the States next month with Motion City Soundtrack. The band also have plans for a live DVD in early 2009.
