Guitarist Gregor Mackintosh of British gothic metal pioneers PARADISE LOST has revealed that he is going through some “health issues” which have resulted in him losing a significant amount of weight.<\/p>\n
Earlier today (Monday, February 23),the 55-year-old musician, who co-founded PARADISE LOST nearly four decades ago, shared the following message via social media<\/a>: “Hey Everyone. I’ve been told that there are a lot of messages regarding my weight loss over the past few months. I wouldn’t normally comment on such a private thing, but I think it’s for the best in this case, to stop any further speculation.<\/p>\n “I do have some ongoing health issues, which have intensified of late. I won’t bore anyone with the details, but I am getting good care and I feel fine. None of this affects my ability to play and I am currently on tour with PARADISE LOST. The crowds are killer and PL are sounding better than they have in years.<\/p>\n “I truly appreciate everyone’s concern.<\/p>\n “See you on the road.”<\/p>\n PARADISE LOST is continuing to tour in support of its 17th album, “Ascension”, which came out last September via Nuclear Blast Records. The band’s first LP in five years, following 2020’s critically acclaimed “Obsidian”, was produced by Mackintosh and mixed\/mastered by Lawrence Mackrory.<\/p>\n
