Specifics on Armstrong's health were not released, but WENN according to local reports, the singer suffered "gastric problems" and also report that some Italian fans found themselves in trouble when they tried to visit Armstrong in the hospital.

The band has three albums coming out, titled "Uno!", "Dos!" and "Tre!" "Uno!" is due out Sept. 25.
