Alley Deheza of School of Seven Bells has posted unfortunate news on the band's Facebook page today. This week, her bandmate Benjamin Curtis was hospitalized and, after dozens of tests, diagnosed with T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma.
Deheza wrote that "it developed pretty aggressively" and Curtis will need "aggressive" chemotherapy treatments, but "the good news is that it's TREATABLE." She added, "These next few months will be tough, but he is the toughest person I know (even while here, he was trying to figure out a way to sample the MRI)."
The band's most recent record, Ghostory, was released last year.
