An E-mail I received from the Relient K fanclub:

Dear RK fans,

 

Due to circumstances beyond any of our control, Matthew Thiessen needed to

leave the Winter Wonder Slam last evening on a red eye flight to Canton.

It is with great sadness to report that Matt's mother suffered a severe

heart attack Monday evening. Matt flew home to be with his family and at

his mother's side as she undergoes quadruple bypass surgery. We truly

appreciate your understanding and prayers during this highly emotional

time.

 

In an effort to make most of this situation, the remaining members of

Relient K (Ethan, John and Jon) will stay out for the last four (4) shows

and play host to Tim Skipper of House of Heroes as they put together a

medley of Holiday music and fan favorites. As an effort to make the shows

special, we will host a contest to have a fan club member join the guys on

stage to perform 'Sadie Hawkins Dance'!

 

Again, we thank you for your prayers and wish you joy in your hearts

during the Christmas season.

 

 

Best,

 

Kevin Spellman

Remember, disco is in this year!
