David Draiman Updates Fans on Tumor Removed From His Arm

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter

David Draiman has updated fans about a tumor he had removed from his arm.

The Disturbed frontman took to Twitter and said, “It’s BENIGN!!!! THANK GOD!!!!” He added, “I may be performing with a sling for a while…but we’re coming for you Europe, USA, and the rest of the world. Time to remind everyone why we are who we are… We are… @Disturbed.”

Yesterday (May 30), Draiman shared via Twitter, “Doing a bunch of press today, zoom stuff, so this is going to get out anyway. I had a tumor removed from my rt radius last week. It had been keeping me up nights. Should have biopsy results tomorrow. Thoughts, prayers, positive energy all welcome.”

Disturbed is heading to Europe in June where they will perform at a number of festivals including the U.K.’s Download Festival and the Netherlands’ PinkPop Festival. The band will return to the United States in July where they will kick off a tour on July 11 in Denver. A full list of upcoming shows can be found at Disturbed1.com.
