As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis Suffers Burns To 25% Of His Body

---

As I Lay Dying’s frontman Time Lambesis has been hospitalised with burns to 25% of his body, due to a bonfire accident.

Posting to Instagram the frontman shared a picture of himself smiling and giving a thumbs up whilst lying in a hospital bed wrapped in bandages. The post came along with a caption that read “Keep your head up no matter what! I’m doing the best I can to make a thumbs up on my way to surgery (in about 30 minutes).”

“I apologize to my friends that I have not had the time to fill in yet on what happened. The entire gas cap fell off when trying to use a little from the trickle tip to get a bonfire started. Gas got all over my clothes and I ended up burning 25% of my body.”

Lambesis went on to say that he was hospitalised from Saturday night (12th) and expects to stay in hospital “for a couple more weeks most likely”, saying “I’ve been in the hospital since Saturday night, and I will be here for a couple more weeks most likely. Today’s surgery is to remove the remaining dead skin that we were unable to scrub off during dressing changes this week. It will be for the best so that we won’t have to scrub so hard during dressing changes, and that is a big relief for me. I am extremely thankful for the Burns center workers who are taking care of me.”

“I will try to update on my recovery. It will be a long road, but I will get back to full strength eventually.”

The frontman reunited with his band in 2018 after being released from prison in 2016 for plotting to kill his estranged wife. In 2017 he posted a statement to the bands facebook page where he said “words cannot begin to express how deeply sorry I am for the hurt that I have caused. There is no defense for what I did, and I look back on the person I became with as much disdain as many of you likely do.”
