In an Instagram post, Johnson updated fans after his surgery to let them know how it went. Including a photo, he wrote: “Surgery #12 is done. Not gonna lie, this one hurt like a bitch, but I hope it's the last. Took out the metal rod in my femur, the screws in my knee. Drilled out some bone from my right tibia, used a new incision in the middle of my leg to fuse that bone where my break was. New metal rod through the femur, metal plate over the fusion, new/bigger screws in my knee and hip. Hoping my hospital stay won't be too long! Thanks for all the well wishes.”

In his past statement about the surgery, he noted: “I'm honestly not that stressed about the actual surgery, I've had so many it just seems normal to me now. What DOES suck is I'll be taking huge steps backwards in recovery, and will be off my feet for a few months.”

We're happy to see that the surgery went well.

As previously reported, the Ghost Inside were the first band announced for this summer's Warped Tour but are not able to perform.
