Tool lead singer Maynard James Keenan announced via the Puscifer Twitter feed that he’s successfully completed and is currently recovering from hip replacement surgery. He Tweeted:
“Didn’t want to freak anyone out, wanted to wait until out of the woods. Years of foot stomping left me with no cushion in my right hip. Full replacement yesterday. Walking today. 12 weeks, back on the mat to work towards that Brown Belt. OSS. #weshallovercome #bjjforlife @teamvaghi @henrydynamixmma @chieflimao @carinaround”
