Jeff Becerra has become very ill while touring in Europe. The group, now featuring Becerra backed by members of California's Sadistic Intent, was playing shows on the European continent in preparation for Norway's Hole In The Sky festival, which took place August 27-30 in Bergen, Norway.
Jeff has been wheelchair bound for more than 18 years — ever since he was shot and paralyzed in a street robbery. A pressure sore became infected on the trek, which was described as "a very ambitious tour" for a healthy person, let alone someone with a number of special needs, but Jeff felt compelled to follow the rigorous schedule. The infection spread to his bones, and soon he was unable to move. The band rushed him to a Helsinki hospital which then had him flown to Paris for medical care, but Parisian doctors did not want to deal with such a sick American and they had him flown to Los Angeles where he spent nearly 20 days in a hospital on a strong course of antibiotics. Jeff is now resting in his family's care until he can beat the illness.

didn't want to deal with such a sick American? I would be willing to bet that if a French National got that sick in LA, they would treat him there, and not send him on a trip thousands of miles long when he badly needed care. Bullshit.
All complaining aside though, anyone who gets a chance should send him card. He had a lot to do with how Deathmetal is now.

Perhaps we shouldn't have dealt with their sick, Nazi-infested country in WWII.
