Rocker JIMMY SCHULMAN has been forced to pull out of 1980s heavy metal act HADES' reunion due to a mystery illness.
The bassist joined his former bandmates for rehearsals last week (ends16Apr10), but fell ill and had to be hospitalised.
A spokesman for the band tells Blabbermouth.net, "It is with great regret and sadness that we must tell you that our bassist, Jimmy Schulman, is currently in the hospital and will not be able to partake in our reunion shows as planned.
"Jimmy came to rehearsal last Thursday and said he felt very sick. Things worsened after that and he missed our next three rehearsals because he was simply too sick to get out of bed... He has a very high fever and has been vomiting for days."
Non-Fiction bass player Kevin Bolembach will replace Schulman on tour.
