Heard him live recently and yeah he can still scream but he's probably one of the luckier ones. Apparently the last time he needed surgery was because of the clean singing rather than the deathcore medleys lol. Shame they took it off the setlist because the new technique sounds so good.

Depends on the rest I guess. Saw some of the Europe shows and he definitely had up and down parts but the recent Asian tour has been amazing, seen the footage from Japan,Malaysia,Indonesia. The only song I saw him struggling was Top 10 Statues and even then it was dropped for Asia I guess because of that.
