Frank Iero, guitarist with super-huge emo sorts My Chemical Romance, has quit the band's Japanese tour.

Iero fell ill before the band played any of their planned four dates in the country, and flew home with the band's people offering no specific descriptions of his condition.

From Japan, the band travel to Australia and New Zealand for a series of dates; they're due in the UK in March. Iero has been replaced by Todd Price from the band Drive By.

No, us neither.

A is a condition of the liver which leaves you exhausted (almost narcoleptic) and unable to eat/drink certain things for a while, but it eventually leaves your system (caused by dirty water and food not cooked properly). B and C are the bad ones which can be fatal. I only know because I have had A myself.
