Blender's cover story on Canadian sensations
Arcade Fire already knows of the sinus and bronchial problems that have plagued lead singer Win Butler for the past two months. During a brief respite in their
promotional blitz for
Neon Bible, Butler underwent a successful operation to relieve his symptoms.
Through the band's Web site, Butler addressed the situation. "Just wanted to let you all know that the surgery was successful and I am recovering nicely. I will probably start singing again this week some time to try and get ready for the shows in North America," writes the singer. "It has been a blessing in disguise to be forced to stay at home and read, and sleep and I have even started work on some new songs."
