Vocalist Mike Patton is Rushed to Hospital After Grand Mal Seizure Onstage 

Attendees to a recent performance in Denver, Colorado by Mike Patton witnessed the singer experience a thirty-five minute seizure.  Officials are blaming the venue’s craft services for providing Patton with a contaminated crabcake before the event.

    “He just started spewing white foam from his mouth, throwing himself on the stage, and letting out this horrible howl,” says concertgoer, Susan Dokes.  “It was quite obvious from where I was sitting that he had wet his pants and I swear I could smell poo.  I’ve seen Mike perform many times, so I just assumed it was part of the show.”

    Patton was in Denver to perform his one-man, improvised soundtrack to the 1968 Italian Giallo classic, “Le Macine Testicolo” aka “The Testicle Grinders”.

    News of the singer’s illness spread quickly through the rec.arts.faithnobunglefan.mz bulletin board/mailing list.  The board’s moderator, “Stub-a-Dub” released a statement.

    “We here in the Faithnobunglefan community are shocked to hear about Mike’s recent medical problems.  Our best wishes go out to Mike for a speedy recovery and quick return to making music.  If anyone has video or audio of the show, please contact me.  I have rare soundboard tape of Bungle performing the music from “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse” in Amsterdam in 1993 that I would be willing to trade for it.”

    Patton is resting comfortably at home and is already back at work.  He is creating a libretto based on his medical charts and the contents of his stomach.  He is hoping to perform the libretto with a chorus of Burmese tiger cubs.
