Below is the statement Posted on the official Weezer website.
��We have learned that Mikey has checked
into a psychiactric hospital, we think in his hometown of Boston. However,
we unfortunately still dont know whats wrong with him, and continue to
find it very difficult to find out any more from those who might know.
We wish him the very best and we hope he comes back soon. But in the meantime,
due to the circumstances at hand with the upcoming tours and such, we are
indeed hastily scheduling try-outs for a replacement player for the upcoming
gigs, JUST IN CASE Mikey isn't able to return.�
