Fuck, I have seen these guys live three times and met them on all occasions, they are great guys and make some of the most amazing Death/Black Metal today, also have a long standing history stretching back to 1990.
I definately wish Nergal and his friends and family the best, it would be a huge shame to lose such a great and talented musician and person, and would be a detrimental loss to arguably such an influential band.
Having chatted with them after shows I can say he is a great guy, very approachable and supports his fans, and really knows how to put on a good show.

for those that don't know him:
Nergal, real name Adam Michał Darski (born June 10, 1977), is a Polish musician, best known for being the frontman for blackened death metal band Behemoth.
He is the founder, lyricist, main composer, frontman and manager of Behemoth, which he started when he was still a teenager (1991). He also plays on lead, rhythm and acoustic guitar. Nergal likes to interact with the crowd during live performances. He is known for his contribution with the following bands: Hermh, Nile, Damnation, Vader, Sweet Noise, Mastiphal, December's Fire, Mess Age, Corruption, Hangover, Ex Deo, The Wolverines and Hefeystos.
He is currently engaged to Dorota Rabczewska, a Polish pop singer. His fiancée has offered to donate her marrow, but it was not a close enough match to his type.
