Mr. Damron met with a neurosurgeon on Feb. 21 and was prepped for emergency surgery the next day.
He has been suffering from degenerative disc disease for 10 years, causing nerve pain, drop foot and severe inflammatory arthritis in the lumbar spine.
Due to the pain, the frontman has been unable to perform with the band. It will likely take him one year to fully recover, according to the report.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
