Summary

Story summary

Justin Broadrick, the frontman of Godflesh, will no longer perform live due to health issues after abdominal surgery for a hernia.
The surgery left him with chronic limitations that make intense performances unsafe.
Godflesh's last live show occurred last year.
The penultimate album, DECAY, is nearly complete and is expected for release in early autumn, with a final album planned for late 2026.
Broadrick will continue with his other projects, including Jesu, which do not require the same physical demands.
