Seether Frontman To Enter Rehab

Lead singer of Seether, Shaun Morgan, plans to enter rehab "to attack what he sees as a dependence on a combination of substances," the band's label, Wind-Up Records, announced July 26th.

The rock group, which recently issued a live, unplugged album dubbed "One Cold Night," was scheduled to kick off an acoustic tour next month in support of Staind, but Seether has called off plans to appear on that trek. One appearance is remains the band's schedule this week -- on a bill in Deer Island, OR, with Alice in Chains and Buckcherry -- and Seether plans to perform as scheduled.

"I'm deeply sorry that this news comes right before a planned tour, especially one that I was so excited about, and I hope that everyone understands," Morgan said in a press release. "I need help with addictions that I can't kick on my own. These things are making me sick, and could potentially harm me permanently, so I need to take care of them as soon as possible. I hope the tour goes well, and we hope to be on the road again soon. Thank you again for your understanding and support."

One Cold Night is Fucking Amazing!!!! I highly recommend it to any Seether Fans... \m/

[Vassilistring]

how does amy lee feel about this??

[Spade1]

I love one cold night, But you could tell Something was wrong..., like he was sick,

[*synystergates*]

Didnt shaun and amy lee brake up like a long time ago?!?!?

[muzz666]

Aww, good luck Shaun. You f*cking rule dude

[flinch08]

yeah, they broke up a long time ago...but they mightve gotten back together since then. they went out when BROKEN came out...and went ou tfor about a year and broke up. so its been a while.

[DisplacedLogic]

One Cold Night was recorded when Shaun was... actually sick. They were suppose to do an electic show, but Shaun couldn't handle it... So they did acoustic and he could.

[xion665]

Ok, I love seether. All of they're songs are great. But this just pisses me off, one dirty band member can ruin so much for the entire band. Thats why if i figure out if any of my bandmates are dabblin in that sh*t, they're gone.

[Nadia9150]

Shaun and Amy broke up a few months ago. Amy is coping with it and supports Shaun just as much as she did before. Sharon and his daughter are also by his side. Shaun had gotten the stomach flu over the whole SnoCore Tour but he recooperated. OCN wasn't filmed while he was sick but he was on his addiction. Everyone that knows Shaun and Seether knows that Shaun will make it through alright. He isn't to the point of no return, he'll be fine in due time.

[KY[AxE]]

Seether is one awesome band, i really hate to hear this, i just bought tickets in memphis for their show w/ Staind and i was really looking forward to seeing them again, b/c they throw a good live show. They came to Louisville a few years back and i got to meet Shaun, he's one of the coolest guys u can find, i really hate to hear this, like previously stated u could tell something was wrong with him in the one cold night dvd, but anyways, GL bro, hope ur back in time for memphis....

[Bristlehead]

Oh ****... that's basically why I bought tickets. Fuck. Oh well man, Shaun I hope you get better.

[charvel_man]

Oh well, at least he's trying to beat the addiction. GO SEETHER

[latinosuperstud]

watch i bet you he runs away from rehab and a week later they find him with a bullet through the brain in his home

lo... hmm even i found that in poor humor...

[FenderJTx]

haha, yeah. bad joke.

[im not mental]

best of luck to him.

Checked.

[INNOCENT VICTIM]

I saw them in concert and i was pretty disapointed when they played acoustic. Really dissapointed

As cruel as that is, I did find it pretty funny, especially considering that his voice sounds so much like Kurt's at times.

Yeah, after an acoustic album and "stomach problems." what else are we supposed to suspect?

[Mattb720]

expect*

[ledzeppelin13]

Hopefully he gets through this quick... and people saying that he sounds like kurt cobain at times, are totally right. My dad was mistaken once and thought shaun's voice was actually kurt's. but hope Shaun comes out better!

[terrencemaddox]

I don't blame him for using substances to escape his life...I think he should keep on going.

As far as I know they did.

[Cliff_Hetfield]

I hope he gets fixed only because lots of people go and theen die. I wonder they vocal coach in there, maybe they can help Shaun Morgan Lee Seether.

well thats nothing to joke about

[masterometal666]

It takes a respectable person to do this. De-tox isnt for pussies. It's literally hell on earth. Best of luck to him.

[Eternal_One]

mmmmm I'm from the same country and Shaun...actually the same ****ing town in South Africa.

Hope he gets well soon and doesn't end up like Kurt Cobain.

Because , under the given circumstances ( Stomach pain, rehab, music genre), the contemplation of him commiting suicide are quite ominous.

[metalman05]

I didnt know he used drugs

[Imaginary_Lord]

I get it now... Call me when you're sober, lol

[unsilencedmyth]

It's funny how it talks about Shaun going into rehab for troubled pains and confusion. But half of the comments are about "Is Amy Lee and Shaun still together" ... Granted she's hot and we all would like to know how Ms. Amy Lee is doing but if you want to talk about that ... Wrong site I think? Try Celeb-Relationship.com ... Now how many of you are really going to see if that's a real site? *Laughs* Hope you get better soon Shaun. Come back and put out some sick songs like always.

[guitarkid2113]

Haha yeah he does sound a lot like Kurt... Its kinda weird to think that... both get addictions and stomach problems... Kurt went to rehab, Shauns goin to rehab, Kurt ran out and unfortunately put a bullet into his head... Shaun, probably won't...

[mellowyellow729]

im not suprised all his lyrics indicated he was going out of control I hope he makes it though seethers awesome

[supersolus666]

yea hopefully shaun doesnt end up like kurt "nobrains" seether is awesome and they always will be

[GimmeToro]

My dad was mistaken once and thought shaun's voice was actually kurt's. but hope Shaun comes out better!

It's hard to come out worse than blowing your face off with a shotgun to be honest.

[munit]

...lets think about this now im just saying but, seether did some live nirvana covers that were great, sounded exactly like nirvana, and i think shaun sounds like kurt. both of them had famous girlfriends, and then both of them had to go into drug rehab, kurt then committed suicide, which i believe that he was actually murdered by his famous girlfriend...who probably hired a killer....the same thing could happen to shaun, but him and amy lee arent together anymore....dammit, i thought i was onto something

Seeing as he's heavily influence by Kurt COBAIN, I think you're disrespecting Shaun Morgan and a highly influencial rock band by your ignorant comment. For the record, I think Kurt was a better songwriter, but I respect Seether. On the closeness to Kurt's last days, I don't think Shaun's gonna kill himself, he wouldn't have made a press release saying he was going to rehab. Him and Kurt are very different people, Shaun seems to be handling his fame quite well, while Kurt just couldn't and didn't want to deal with it. Also, if you like Seether, I would think you'd like or at least respect Kurt and Nirvana, seeing as they're similar in nature.

[bluenote0691]

Not a huge seether fan, but i have noticed his scenario actually matches kurt's minus some certain details. I mean his hair has the whole red highlights and everything and, like mentioned, he's checking into rehab.

[Kris_HSI]

i like seether and all, but i think shaun is the biggest rip off of cobain ever

[soad_malakian]

seether are really good man.Kurt was an awesome who screwed up with the drugs...i hope that doesn't happen to shaun.
best of luck shaun.

[soad_malakian]

guy*

[Vos]

Seether put on a good live show when I saw them and Shauns voice was great the whole time. Hopefully he will get better, I have faith in him.

Louisville,KY cause thats where i saw there them. they played at the state fair. free too

[NASA]

I don't usually make light of people's drug issues but in this case I really don't sympathize...then again, I'm really not a fan of their/his music...Comparing him to Kurt Cobain is just retarded...Seether's pretty generic sounding, especially compared to Nirvana, and the idea of another mediocre musician with too much money to burn and time to kill makes me more angry than sorry that he's "in pain". My appologies to any of their die-hard fans that will surely have a negative rebuke, but I only empathize with this sort of thing when genuinely creative and unique artists with a sizeable contribution to the music world have "real person" problems.

[x_rox]

Yeah you guys wait, either a) Amy Lee will go all courtney love on us
or
b) Shaun will say "G'day" to Mr. Shotgun.

I hope he recovers soon though, i really like seether.

[wes_borland]

anybody see that hard rock live. he looked pretty messed up like he was withdrawing. kick ass show though.

[Dancing Fool]

I think he'll pull through. I think he realizes what it could do to him.

Right on man. Shaun is a very respectable/influential man for young musicians and by admitting that he has a problem and seeking help shows that he is also a great role model. And for all of you that submitted dumb comments about suicide, PISS OFF! Give the man some support instead of your pessimistic attitude! Good luck Shaun and I hope to see you well soon.

[<<altus_afire>>]

Damn... shit's kinda scary. Seether has a huge influence on me and my songwriting. The guys just kick ass. Best of luck Shaun and we will see you well quite soon.

[SweetNLow]

Yeah, rehab's no joke. At least he was responsible enough to address the problem before it got WAY out of hand. I know he's probably out of rehab by now, but I just wanted to show my support anyway =) and I've heard that Shaun checks these forums sometimes, so Shaun, if by chance you ever read this, Seether is by far my favorite band, and I love your songs. I've been through a lot of shit in my life, and I'm sure there's a lot more to come, but when I listen to your songs it all goes away. You are an inspration to me and to countless others, and I appreciate everything you do. I hope you're able to recover and put this all behind you. God Bless

I second, and third, and fourth that. Looking forward to some new music sometime soon, so best of luck Shaun, get better man.

[Driven-Under-40]

I have a lot to say so listen up! First, all of you who are comparing Morgan and Cobain should be slapped! they're rock idols of two completely different times who grew up in different environments and habbits. Cobain was constantly kickedout of residencies and hated his eras glam bands as well as his family, Morgan hasn't gone through any of that, he's in one of the top rock bands of the times and has no reason to kill himself! This leads me to my next point, you cannot just assume that history is going to repeat itself, simply because they both have entered rehab, you cannot just say that Shaun will kill himself otherwise you'd be saying that ALL people that enter a rehabilitation center will commit suicide! Third, if you have a negative opinion about the situation, FUCK OFF! You should be in support of the man because this is a hard time for anyone to go through. And finally, to Shaun, let me apologize for the ****in' twisted psychopaths on this site. I hope you get out alright and ready to roll bcuz Billings is awaiting my brother! God bless and rock on!!!(P.S. I really think that Cigarettes is one of your best songs, play it more often at shows)

[lester2215]

Best luck an many wishes to morgan, an as far as amy lee goes i think really didnt have any right to make her new album abuot that, if my girlfriend did that to me i would be like wtf, u kno?

[bonzai-dude]

Who cares what Amy Lee thinks anyway, Shaun has identified his problem and is taking the steps to solve them. In my eyes this has nothing to do with Amy Lee, i am sure she has problems of her own to cope with. Good luck with your tour of rehab Shaun, all the best mate.
