Charly Steinhauer, guitarist/vocalist of long-running German metallersPARADOX, is scheduled to undergo open-heart surgery this Christmas Eve. He says, “I’m very sorry that I have to tell you that I’m in the hospital right now, and I will have a difficult heart surgery on Monday (December 24). Please keep your fingers crossed for me. I will survive and carry on making some good music for you. PARADOX will never die! I don’t know if I will be able to go on stage again… Right now, I don’t think so.”
