Florida death metallers, Malevolent Creation, recently revealed that guitarist Phil Fasciana had been admitted to a hospital in France with “a severe case of bacterial pneumonia.”
Fasciana just provided the following update via social media:
“Finally coming home tomorrow. Jp BlightMass saved my life while being in a coma and ICU for 3 weeks while in a French hospital. I am forever grateful to this man and the world needs more good people like him. Thank you so much my friend and on behalf of Malevolent Creation – Jesse Jolly, Ronnie Parmer, and Chris Cannella, I want to say thank you to all involved in saving my life and helping me get through this crazy thing called life. I will continue some treatment at home but I should make a complete recovery and it feels good to be coming home.”
Fasciana’s previous update read:
“As of today August 1st I am having the last of my tests and if all is good I will be released on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
I don’t know how I contracted this bacteria but my lungs were filled with blood for some time now. I have to see doctors every month concerning injuries I received in a car accident in 2021 and none of the doctors I see that check your blood as well as other vitals never detected anything. Even after complaining about just generally feeling constantly sick and having tons of x-rays, mri’s and just general routine doctor visits. The French doctors knew immediately and after being in a coma for 8 days I was told what was going on and of course I laughed and said yeah right! One of the doctors asked me to spit on the ground and I did and sure as shit it was pure blood. My lungs were filled with blood and I was dying. A lot of work had to be done to clear up my lungs and a lot of strong antibiotics. But right now I am getting ready for a bunch of tests concerning my black heart. If all goes well I will be flying home on Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks to my band members Ronnie Parmer, Jesse Jolly, Chris Cannella for saving my life and all the people around the world for your kind words.
I have to take things day to day but I will be on tour with Krisiun in Brazil in September and our North American Tour in October.
What a wild ride I had to experience the last 4 weeks but I’m back baby!!!”
