About Brian Burkheiser’s health struggles

In May 2024, Brian Burkheiser took to social media to reveal that he had been suffering from a rare disease called Eagle syndrome, for which he had to undergo multiple surgical procedures. While sharing that he would not be able to perform with I Prevail for at least a month, he wrote,

“I recently underwent multiple surgeries for a rare disease called Eagle Syndrome. It pains me to do this, but unfortunately I will have to miss the next month of shows as the recovery process continues. Initially, I thought I could push through the pain, but my body and mind just need more time to heal.”

According to Cleveland Clinic’s website, Eagle syndrome causes pain in a patient’s neck, face and throat when the styloid process, which is a compact bone underneath the ears, or a stylohyoid ligament, elongates and becomes bony instead of stretchable.

While sharing his struggles with the disease, Burkheiser wrote,

"If I’m being honest, this disease has broken me over the last few years. I knew something was wrong dating all the way back to 2018, and it wasn’t until recently that I officially figured out the problem. I’ve pushed myself through multiple tour cycles trying my best to keep a positive spirit, but as the days passed by, the negativity and pain grew.”

Burkheiser revealed that due to the rare occurrence of Eagle syndrome, very few people know of the disease, and the sufferers often become suicidal and feel dependent upon their loved ones. He also shared,

“I have felt many of those feelings, but now I’m on a mission to help spread awareness and be a voice for those who suffer.”

At the time, Brian Burkheiser also wrote that I Prevail members, Eric Vanlerberghe and Dylan Bowman, covered for him while he was dealing with his medical condition. Burkheiser also urged his fans and well-wishers to support the band’s ongoing tours.

They announced that Vanlerberghe would be the band’s frontman and added,

"Moving forward, Eric will continue to be the powerhouse frontman you’ve come to know and love. He’ll be backed up live by Dylan who you’ve seen in this role many times over the years at the shows we’ve performed without Brian.Rest assured, we will continue to deliver the high-energy shows that we’ve made a pillar of our band, and we will continue to perform all the bangers from our catalogue.”

All of I Prevail’s shows are scheduled to continue.
