Tool drummer Danny Carey performed at the ‘Aftershock Festival‘ in Sacramento, CA this past weekend against doctor’s orders after being diagnosed with a staph infection. His guitarist bandmate Adam Jones commented:
“Great crowd at #AfterShock festival. Thank you Sacramento‼️ I truly have to respect Mr #DannyCarey who played the entire show with a very serious Staph Infection.
At first on Friday morning he was misdiagnosed with a poisonous spider bite on his upper leg.
Then later Friday night the quarter sized wound was cut opened & drained. By Saturday DC was still aching from head to toe & from what I heard the Local Doctor recommended we skip the show. But Dan with headaches & painful joints played anyway… 👊🏽💪🏽 #Tool #Hero #BestDrummerInTheWorld #stubborn #getWellSoon #theshowmustgoon”
