David Draiman is being forthcoming yet again about a personal matter with a new revelation he made via Twitter.

The Disturbed singer shared, "Doing a bunch of press today, zoom stuff, so this is going to get out anyway. I had a tumor removed from my rt radius last week. It had been keeping me up nights. Should have biopsy results tomorrow. Thoughts, prayers, positive energy all welcome."

This post about having a tumor removed follows Draiman getting emotional during a May 4 Disturbed show in Milwaukee. Draiman opened up about his own struggles with depression and addiction. Before performing "A Reason to Fight," Draiman talked about how tired he was of losing friends to depression and addiction. He said, in part, " ... I miss Chester [Bennington], I miss Scott [Weiland], I miss Chris [Cornell]. And if I can be completely honest with you, a couple months ago, I almost joined them."

We send our best wishes to Draiman as he awaits his biopsy results.
