Successful brain tumor removal for Glass Hammer's Steve Babb, as disclosed by himself
Steve Babb, the mainman of the progressive rock band Glass Hammer, has undergone a successful brain surgery to remove a meningioma, a type of tumour, as reported by Prog. The surgery took place two weeks ago.
According to the article, the tumour was approximately the size of a golf ball. Babb himself has expressed his preference for continuing to work and give fans something to argue about, despite the long and tiring recovery process he is currently facing. He has around 60 staples in his head as a result of the surgery.
During the worst of his recovery, Babb's son, Jon Michael Babb, came to help, and his wife, Julie Babb, has been an exceptional nurse. Prog has expressed well wishes for a speedy recovery to Steve Babb.
Since the release of the ARISE album in 2023, Babb has effectively become the band, with previous band members appearing on albums sporadically. The latest from Prog includes news about Babb's recovery from his brain surgery.
The tumour was diagnosed as a meningioma in June, and according to a follow-up MRI, the tumour has been completely removed. However, no updates were given regarding Babb's current health status or recovery progress beyond the follow-up MRI.
Steve Babb released the band's twenty-second studio album, Rogue, earlier this year. Despite his current health situation, it seems Babb has no plans to launch a new project, as he stated that at this point in his career, he is essentially Glass Hammer. No further information about new projects or collaborations was mentioned in the article.
It's important to note that there are no specific publicly available details regarding Steve Babb’s recovery timeline after the surgery. Further information may require direct statements from Steve Babb himself, official band or personal communications, or news articles dedicated specifically to his health update.
