Madina Lake's set at Sonisphere on Sunday will be one filled with thankfulness and optimism as frontman Nathan Leone recently posted more good news about the progress of his bassist brother Matthew as he continues to recover from a savage beating in Chicago a few weeks ago.

Writing on his blog Leone posted the following information and revealed more about the true extent of Matthew's injuries:

"Surgery was a success. For the first time since this incident happened, I feel like Matthew is out of the woods. To be clear…I mean that we’re not going to lose him and that he is on the road to full recovery (from my non-medical perspective of course lol). I haven’t shared many of the finite details of his experience and/or medical situation in the interest of maintaining optimism and good vibes to and from all of you concerned. Perhaps some day we will but let’s just say as far as miracles are concerned, Matthew was just gifted a significant one (and so was I). In my humbled opinion, all of your guys’ love and support is fully responsible for it and I’ll never be able to make it up to you...just trust that i’ll spend the rest of my life trying."

Madina Lake play the Apollo Stage on Sunday August 01 at 12.25pm.
