MASTODON: BRENT HINDS Hospitalized with 'Severe Head Injuries'

MASTODON's management has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET

"MASTODON guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds suffered a severe head injury after his performance on Sunday night's [September 9] MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas. He is being treated by a Las Vegas hospital where he remains hospitalized."

It is rumoured that Hinds' injury was sustained during a brutal assault that took place shortly after MASTODON performed "Colony of Birchmen" at the Palms Casino Fantasy Suites in Las Vegas. However it should be noted that this information has not yet been corroborated by an official source.
