Career

Bullet for My Valentine

Matthew Tuck is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist in the Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine. The band formed in 1998 and was originally called Jeff Killed John. After Nick Crandle left, they picked up Jason James as their new bassist and renamed the band Bullet for My Valentine. They have released 5 studio albums and 4 EPs. The band has sold over one million albums in the United States and over 3,000,000 albums worldwide[2] and are the most-successful act in the Kerrang!

Health problems

In November 2006, while on tour with As I Lay Dying and Protest the Hero, Tuck suffered from laryngitis, which led to a series of concert cancellations, until early January 2007 when he was able to sing after his recovery period.

On 22 June 2007, it was announced that he needed a tonsillectomy.[4] The band was forced to cancel all of their shows, including their tour as a support band for Metallica.[5] Unable to speak, Tuck wrote that as soon as doctors cleared him he would be in the studio working on the band's next album.[6]
