Over the weekend, MADINA LAKE’S Nathan Leone made another update on the band’s official blog about developments with this brother Matthew, who was savagely beaten last week coming to the aid of a woman who was being attacked.

In his blog Nathan expresses gratitude for all the well wishes and gifts and gives us an update on his brothers condition.

“There’s really no way to appropriately express our appreciation for everyone’s support. We’ve had calls, letters, gifts, and well wishes pouring in from all around the world and it’s truly the most beautiful and genuine show of compassion and love that we’ve ever experienced. we very sincerely thank you all.

Matthew’s making good progress. His doctors have scheduled the next surgery for July 16th wherein they hope to re-apply the portion of his skull that has been removed to accommodate the swelling in his brain. So for the next 2 weeks he will continue to rest, build up his strength and spirit and hopefully by then he’ll be healthy enough for surgery.”
