Earlier this year New Brunswick, NJ's Screaming Females were forced to cancel a tour midway through due to their lead singer, Marissa Paternoster, coming down with Mononucleosis-also known as Mono or the "kissing disease." Since then, the singer has been suffering from severe body aches and seeing a chiropractor to try and mend the pain. Marissa recently posted an update on her condition:
Marissa drew a comic to explain exactly what is going on with her health. It is believed that she suffers from a rare condition called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. You can read the entire comic here for more information.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!
Screaming Females released Ugly earlier this year.









Get better soon, Marissa!
