Malin revealed that. he suffered a spinal cord stroke while out to dinner with a friend in New York’s East Village in May 2023 that left him paralyzed from the waist down. When his insurance did not cover the significant medical bills he incurred, a Sweet Relief fundraiser was started to help with long-term care.
The album’s first single, the Bleachers’ “Prisoners of Paradise,” is out now and you can pre-order the album here. “Prisoners” originally appeared on Malin’s third solo studio album, 2007’s Glitter in the Gutter, which featured contributions from Springsteen, Wallflower’s Jakob Dylan, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme and Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett.
In an Instagram post, Malin said the song has always been one of his favorites, describing it as being about “new beginnings and rebirth… letting the past crumble and starting fresh.”
In a video update from Malin posted in March, the singer said he’d been receiving treatment and undergoing extensive physical therapy in Buenos Aires, Argentina for several weeks and that the doctors “are seeing some progress and I push forward every single day nonstop.” At the time he said he really missed playing music and was hoping to get back to it this fall. “It has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through to say the least . You guys take care of each other please and don’t forget me,” he wrote.
A full track listing for the album has not yet been released.
