Basti Aratadi Basti Artadi reveals truth about health condition

Wolfgang’s legendary rock frontman Basti Artadi is grateful for the overwhelming support he has received from fans and colleagues after he announced on Tuesday that he was suffering from facial paralysis caused by a tumor. Posting on facebook, the singer explained that what he has was a benign facial nerve tumor.  “I do NOT have a brain tumor as what’s being reported in the news. I have a BENIGN facial nerve tumor that affects the movement of my face. Unfortunately, in my line of work, this means a lot. So as mentioned in my previous post, I intend to have the procedure that will help my situation. I’ve got it planned out, just waiting for the right time to do it,” he wrote.

The band vocalist is currently selling t-shirts to help him fund the procedure, which he called a  facial sling, that would temporarily help his situation. Fans who want to buy Basti’s shirt can place their orders online at https://www.facebook.com/Jeepneyrockstop
