Max is probably the nicest person i've met, he really dosen't deserve for anything like this to happen to him.
Hopefully it's not as bad as first feared and i think i speak for us all when i say that we are all here for him to help him in anyway we can.

Max Armstrong has moved his brother and sisters into a new home in New Jersey and said that they will be staying at the new home until they're ready to start their own family and careers.
The Junction have cancelled all of their North American 1st leg tour dates and it's unknown if they'll cancel the shows in the new year.
Also a new album was expected in July 2010 but reports are coming in that the group will begin talks about a hiatus until Max feels ready to return to the stage.
He was photographed this morning with his arms around his tearful brother and sisters whilst leaving the hospital.
He had this to say to a reporter "It's a tough time for us and we just need to be around each other and look after each other, i can barely put words together, so i ask that you guys leave us alone for the next few months to try and get over this tragedy".
