Bayside guitarist Jack O'Shea has had spinal surgery after losing mobility in his left arm during a European tour, which led to a level three fusion in his cervical spine.

O'Shea released the following statement about the surgery:

"So 11 years of headbanging and playing 11lbs plus Les Paul's had led me to spine surgery. A month ago I lost most of the use of my right arm and powered through a tour in Europe. I got home and decided to see a specialist to make sure my physical therapy was correct and was rushed into surgery. I had a 3 level fusion in my cervical spine and should hopefully get most if not all of my right arm back but it's right into intense physical therapy starting next week. Also my nurse is terrible at installing IV's."
