For those of you who follow Ben on Twitter you may have seen this before, but I would like to get it to everyone here. The following is a blog entry from Nathan Leone, singer for Madina Lake, and his twin brother, Matthew, is the bassist for Madina Lake...
Matthew Leone is currently in the hospital, read the quoted blog from his brother, Nathan:
"Suffering a massive shock …
i’m afraid I have some of the worst news that has ever hit our lives. It’s almost impossible to even type this update. A few nights ago, Matthew walked from my apt. a block and a half down the street to meet a friend for a drink. half way there he saw a man severely beating his wife. Being the most amazing, strong, heroic and incredible person I know.. even though the guy was twice his size, Matthew intervened. He managed to subdue this guy for a second and since his wife was beat up pretty good called the cops.. as he did so the guy jumped him from behind and beat him. This guy did things I can’t even type. After words, he and his beaten wife left Matthew unconcious on the street. Matthew is in the hospital with a third of his skull removed as we wait for the swelling in his brain to go down. I’d rather not share any additional information at this time besides the fact that he acted as a hero (as he always would in any of these situations) and is paying a horrific price. Pease send all your love and good energy and vibrations to him. I’ve been and will be next to him throughout the entire recovery process. We don’t know enough yet details about how that will develop.. but it has shocked, stunned, disgusted our best friends, family and band (which are both). The world can be evil beyond belief and as much as we want this evil eliminated, right now our hearts heads and energies need to go to my best friend, soul mate, hero, and angel, Matthew. Love you all and will be in touch as soon as I can muster up the emotional energy to reach out again. Please, be safe and peaceful as we get through this impossible time.
Nathan"
Please send your thoughts, prayers, good vibes...whatever you believe in. Also, there's a Facebook group... www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=134295349933821
In the discussions tab, one of the girls in the group is working on making bracelets to help raise money for hospital bills...I think they are going to be $10 and they are pretty sweet if you ask me. www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4712958&op=1&o=global&view=global&subj=134295349933821&id=588862475&fbid=407548207475
So if you can help by buying one when they start selling them, please do so, but even if you can't give a monetary donation, thoughts, prayers, and good vibes are just as good.
