Screaming Females post update on Marissa Paternoster’s health in cartoon form

Screaming Females post update on Marissa Paternoster’s health in cartoon form

November 28, 2012 (June 17, 2016) // Riot Fest

Last month Screaming Females were forced to cancel most of their planned fall shows due to health issues with frontwoman Marissa Paternoster. Yesterday afternoon the band issued a statement about her condition in a fairly unusual manner, a series of sketches from Paternoster. There are too many to post them all here but the first in the series can be seen below, with the rest here.

Dear Friends, Here is a very brief run down of where I stand right now as far as my health is concerned. I am doing my very best to get back into tip-top shape as quickly as possible so that we can return to the touring circuit that I already miss so much. Even though I’m not in any shape to get back in the van, we’ve been writing some new songs and I feel confident that I will be ready to get back on the road sooner rather than later. Thank you for all of the get well wishes and for your patience!

Also, please note that the following is a very cursory overview of what has been going on and I can assure you that a lot more has happened in the past month but it’d simply be too much for me to sketch right now!
