Nevermore's Jim Sheppard Undergoing Brain Surgery Today

Saw this on Blabbermouth today and it floored me. Apparently Jim Sheppard is undergoing brain surgery to remove a benign tumor on his brain. That's pretty scary stuff. I wonder how long he's known about this thing because we saw them last year and he seemed to be ok albeit frustrated with equipment glitches. And they were just on the 70000 tons of Metal cruise for both Nevermore and Sanctuary of which Jim is a founding member of both groups.

Regardless here's to another speedy recovery with all faculties intact for Jim Sheppard. Hope you're well and recovered in time for the show in May and beyond. Jim is a really cool guy for an awesome band that needs to be there.
