A STATEMENT FROM EXENE CERVENKA OF X
June
2, 2009
After
some months of not feeling 100% healthy, I recently had some medical tests
run
and the prognosis is that I am suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.
Apparently, it has been affecting me for quite some time.
Although this is obviously unfortunate news, I am choosing to see the
positive in it.
I, and X as a band, have supported the Sweet Relief charity since the
mid-1990's;
the irony of this is not lost on any of us. Sweet Relief was started as
an aide to uninsured artists by musician Victoria Williams when she herself
was diagnosed with MS in 1992.
While this diagnosis will most certainly mean some changes for me, personally,
it will not affect my commitments to the current X U.S. tour, nor will
it affect my solo album that is slated for release this fall on Bloodshot
Records.
My focus will certainly be on maintaining my health--many people remain
strong and continue to live their lives as productively as they had before
an MS diagnosis and I plan to be one of those people.
