Hatebreed<\/strong> guitarist Wayne Lozinak<\/strong> has sadly been diagnosed with a benign meningioma \u2013 or a non-cancerous brain tumor. Hatebreed<\/strong> has since moved live bassist Matt Bachand<\/strong> over to guitar to fill in for Lozinak<\/strong>. Here’s hoping everything goes well with Wayne<\/strong> and his emergency surgery \u2013 we’re all pulling for you, dude.<\/p>\n “Send Wayne Lozinak<\/strong> some love! On the night of June 14th<\/sup>, while at Download Festival, Wayne<\/strong> began experiencing mild symptoms that raised concerns of a possible stroke. Out of an abundance of caution, he sought medical attention the following day upon arriving in Lille, France. After undergoing a CT scan at the ER, doctors discovered a brain tumor, leading to his immediate admission for further testing.<\/p>\n “Following a thorough 24-hour evaluation, including an MRI, it was determined that the tumor is a benign meningioma\u2014a slow-growing mass that has likely been present for years. We are immensely relieved that Wayne\u2019s diagnosis is the best possible outcome given the circumstances.<\/p>\n “Wayne<\/strong> will be returning to the U.S. to prepare for surgery and focus on rest and recovery. His strength and resilience remain unwavering, and he is determined to return to Hatebreed as soon as he is able. We appreciate all the love and support from fans, friends, and the music community during this time.<\/p>\n “Further updates will be shared as appropriate. Thank you for respecting Wayne<\/strong>\u2019s privacy as he begins this journey toward full health.”<\/p>\n Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
