David Draiman of Disturbed has revealed that he has undergone an operation for a tumour.

In a social media post, David announced, “Doing a bunch of press today, zoom stuff, so this is going to get out anyway. I had a tumor removed from my rt radius last week. It had been keeping me up nights. Should have biopsy results tomorrow. Thoughts, prayers, positive energy all welcome. @disturbed #areasontofight.”

The radius is one of two bones in the forearm. It forms the radio-carpel joint at the wrist and the radio-ulmar joint at the elbow.

Disturbed last performed on 12 May 2023 in Abbotsford, Canada.
