October 1, 2002 (Burbank, CA) -- Warner Bros. Records' act GLASSJAW has had to cancel a series of European concerts and promotion due to the sudden illness of lead singer Daryl Palumbo late last evening.  Daryl, who suffered from a relapse of Crohn's Disease, was rushed to a French hospital.  Daryl is expected to fully recover and be released from the hospital in a few days.  Although it is uncomfortable and recurring, the disease is not life-threatening.
