We’re just getting word that Relient K frontman Matt Thiessen’s Mom had a severe heart attack last night. Here’s the official announcement from the company producing this years Winter Wonder Slam Tour…
Due to circumstances beyond any of our control, Matthew Thiessen needed to leave the Winter Wonder Slam tour last evening on a red eye flight to Canton. It is with great sadness to report that Matt’s mother suffered a severe heart attack Monday evening. Matt flew home to be with his family and at his mother’s side as she undergoes quadruple bypass surgery. We truly appreciate your understanding and prayers during this highly emotional time.
In an effort to make most of this situation, the remaining members of Relient K (Ethan, John and Jon) will stay out for the last four (4) shows and play host to Tim Skipper of House of Heroes as they put together a medley of Holiday music and fan favorites. As an effort to make the shows special, we will host a contest to have a fan club member join the guys on stage to perform ‘Sadie Hawkins Dance’!

Just saw Relient K last night, and could see that Matt was going through something, though I would have never guesses it was this bad! My friends and I are keeping Matt and his mother in our prayers as they go through this difficult time.
I am at the Ontario Citizens Arena, and I hope Matt’s mom is doing well! Stephanie and the guys are doing a great job! No worries here!!!
God bless Matt and his mom and family!!!
I am amazed with it. It is a good thing for my research. Thanks. ^_^
