Never good news to hear, but BACKTRACK frontman James Vitalo recently suffered a seizure that landed him in hospital, forcing the band to cancel a run of shows. Staring down the barrell of some expensive medical bills, the hat is currently being passed around for donations. Below is from the B9 board..

"James Vitalo, the vocalist from Backtrack suffered a seizure, and is unable to play tonight in Chicago. More importantly, he is alive and well, but will of course be facing some medical expenses that wont be easy to pay.

Its time to help out. I remember when a stagediver in New York busted his head, people came out of the woodwork to do whatever they could do for him. Now its a musician, who dosent get a paycheck on the road, and is probably wondering how he is gonna pay his ER bills.

Donate some money, whatever you have to spare. Sell some merch that is worth some cash, anything helps. Every penny will be put in his hand. Lets pull together and help him out. Hit up Paypal here to donate."
