Family Force 5 bassist in hospital with kidney troubles

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 11/30/09 @ 12:05 PM - altpress.com

Word has surfaced that Joshua "Fatty" Olds, bassist/vocalist of Family Force 5, has been admitted to a Chicago-area hospital after the band's performance at The Chapel in Grayslake, Illinois, last night. FF5 frontman (and his brother) Solomon "Soul Glow Activatur" Olds sent out a barrage of tweets concerning his brother's health:

Post-show last night: "Talking Fatty to the ER. He is some kinda sick. Peeing blood and Yakkin up too. My guess: kidney stone. I'll keep u updated."

Late last night: "Fatty is being transfered to another hospital. He is having kidney trouble. No stones. Please pray for my brother if you can!"

Early this morning: "Fatty isn't n pain nemore but he is sevrly dehydrated. DR say his bladder isn't filling up the way it needs 2. He is getting super fluids"

And Soul Glow's most recent update, from approximately two hours ago: "They are moving my brother up to the ICU and doctors are saying it's serious. We are getting a kidney specialist on the way."

Soul Glow promises that no dates of the band's current "Christmas Pageant" tour will be canceled; FF5 are currently scheduled to perform in Kankakee, Illinois, tonight (dates).
