MTV is reporting that Andrew McMahon, lead singer of Something Corporate and Jack¹s Mannequin is now in recovery from Acute Lymphatic Leukemia.
McMahon was diagnosed with the illness this past June. He recieved a stem-cell transplant via a bone marrow donation from his sister on August 23rd.
According to the story, the recovery process is a long one, and McMahon is still rail-thin, hairless and exhausted saying
I got finished with the transplant and everything was smooth sailing, as has kind of been the staple of both my hospital visits, and then at the end I got really sick again and came home really sick for like a week or so, but recovered, This is definitely a little bit of a slower process than just doing the chemo, because you're essentially adopting a new immune system."
Since then, McMahon has returned to the studio where he recorded his solo album, Everything in Transit under the name Jack's Mannequin to record a new track titled "The Lights and Buzz," which is expected to surface this winter.
