Nergal má vážne zdravotné problémy. Podľa informácií z poľských médií bol včera prijatý do nemocnice v Gdaňsku, pričom neoficiálne zdroje tvrdia, že ide o hematologické oddelenie. Oficiálne stanovisko sa očakáva dnes. BEHEMOTH ruší všetky svoje tohtoročné vystúpenia.

Nergal: "I do not want to bore you with details, but I can no longer hide the fact that I am seriously ill and waiting for my multi-stage treatment, which can take up to several months. Thus, we cancel the coming summer festivals, the tour of Russia and the Baltic States planned for September and October, and the November tour of the USA.

I know that this is not the best news for you, but health is important. I"ve got a rather difficult period, and a lot of work, but steel becomes hardened in the fire, isn"t it? You know me, so that you know that I"ll get out of this stronger than ever. Then all the concerts also will go ahead as plan. At this time, I feel good, my head is focused to fight the disease, everything is under control by professionals. I have with me the most wonderful and loving woman, family, team, managers and people from publishing companies who are doing everything to support me. I do not ask you for more than just a little bit of patience. I would add that the fact that in the near future we will not be touring does not mean that Behemoth gets into hibernation. We have a lot to offer you in the coming months, Behemoth will work on many other fronts."
