Soundwave's promoters had originally stated that Tom was suffering from a "severe ear infection", yet his wife writes that “Tom does not have a ear infection! Not sure who came up with this, but it is not true… They are waiting on test results… If [the ear-infection explanation] is coming from the promoter, I am sure he is only saying what he was told!”
