Sad News from SCANDAL
We’ve got some difficult news to share with you.
Charly has been battling severe pain from slipped disc issues for months. The excruciating pain and muscle spasms have made everyday life a challenge. Despite trying everything—painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and long hours lying flat to manage the acute pain—the situation has worsened. After exhausting all other options, doctors decided surgery was the only solution.
We’re all hoping and praying for the best possible outcome from the surgery. During this time, SCANDAL will be taking a break from live performances until Charly is fully recovered. But don’t worry—we’re not standing still. Behind the scenes, we’ll be working on new material and recording sessions for our long-awaited new album.
UPDATE:
It’s with heavy hearts that we share this update—Charly has come through the surgery alive, but sadly, he will no longer be able to perform live. This news has shattered us. Charly is not just a guitarist; he’s been a BROTHER and a vital part of SCANDAL for so many years. His incredible guitar work and his unwavering dedication to the band have shaped everything we’ve done.
Charly will always be part of SCANDAL, no matter what. We honor and deeply thank him for his immense contributions and the countless memories we’ve shared along the way.
We need a little time to process this and find our footing again. But rest assured, SCANDAL will carry on, with Charly’s spirit always guiding us.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey together.
