:cry: I'm so sad....Davey is the most incredible singer and now this! Its just so sad....Not to mention I was going to see them in a week. But thats not important. Oh, god, I hope he's alright, he just HAS to get better, he HAS to. I heard somewhere this is what happened to Julie Andrews. What if he can't sing the same again? What if he can't sing in the voice that captured millions of people and saved many? Thats just so terrible...But, no. He will be fine. I'm sure he is seeing the best of doctors. He HAS to get better. If he doesn't, I will question the existence of God even more. Fuck, why do bad things happen to such good people? Even more importantly, why is it DAVEY had to get a cyst? Why not Justin Timberlake?
Oh wait, I know this one...BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER FUCKING SING. DAVEY USES HIS VOICE TO THE EXTREME AND SINGS WITH ALL OF HIS HEART, SOMETHING JUSTIN FUCKING TIMBERLAKE WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND.[/quote]
