“There’s really no way to appropriately express our appreciation for everyone’s support.  We’ve had calls, letters, gifts, and well wishes pouring in from all around the world and it’s truly the most beautiful and genuine show of compassion and love that we’ve ever experienced.  We very sincerely thank you all.”

-Nathan Leone

While walking in downtown Chicago to meet a friend for a few drinks, Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone was beaten and left unconscious.  Matthew was walking from his brother’s apartment to a bar down the street when he attempted to intervene in a domestic dispute between a man and woman.  As Matthew tried to call the police, he was attacked from behind and has suffered many injuries including a broken jaw, nose, and a fractured skull.  In addition to that, one-third of his skull had to be removed in order to alleviate swelling on his brain.  According to Nathan Leone-Matthew’s twin brother and Madina Lake frontman, the doctors have been convinced to allow Matthew to return home and concentrate on regaining his strength in preparation for his second brain surgery in which the portion of his skull that was removed will be re-applied.  Since the assault, 33 year old Justin Pivic has been arrested for the attack on his wife and Matthew.
