More lovely Anthrax issues

Ohhh shit, there is drama in the Anthrax camp, ALREADY. These guys are on their fourth singer, and it seems like newboy, Dan Nelson, may already have had enough of Scott Ians bullshit (or he is legitamitely sick- probably the case, but not as fun to imagine). Nelson isn't saying anything too detailed, but he has canceled the first three shows of their latest European tour and left some cryptic messages on his Twitter account. His account, "DanNAnthrax" has since been deleted but before it was, this is what he said:


July 16, 3:47 a.m.: "Funny, I don't feel so lucky...Wonder what everyone is talking about??"

July 16, 4:28 a.m.: "is done."

July 17, 7:54 p.m.: "loves his family and friends more than ANYTHING."

On Friday, July 17, ANTHRAX posted this on their website:

"The members of ANTHRAX regretfully announce that the first three shows of their European tour scheduled to begin tomorrow, Saturday, July 18th, are canceled. Yesterday, lead singer Dan Nelson unexpectedly informed the band that he was seriously ill and unable to travel or perform at this time. Options for the balance of ANTHRAX's European tour dates are being addressed posthaste. The members of ANTHRAX are devastated by this unfortunate turn of events and ask all of their fans to join them in wishing Dan the speediest of recoveries."

Honestly, this could just be that he is sick. It's hard to imagine a fellow Long Islander backing out of this opportunity so quickly, but we'll see.... Also, he since added another twitter account, DanNelson76, and posted those comments, so obviously they are not some big secret. In my opinion there is nothing more to it than being sick, but time will tell.
