learning guitar.

Pantera and Megadeth.
During the November 2006 tour with As I Lay Dying and Protest The
Hero, Matt Tuck suffered from laryngitis which led to a number of

currently treating him for recovery with Kara Hanshaw assisting him
as a nurse.
On 22 June 2007, it was announced that Matt needed a tonsillectomy
surgery and was forced to cancel all Bullet For My Valentine dates,
including dates supporting Metallica
