SUM 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has left hospital as he continues his recovery from alcohol-induced liver and kidney failure, with the rocker stating that he hopes to be "back on stage before you know it".
While in hospital, Whibley said he wanted to warn fans against the dangers of excessive drinking, by posting a series of shocking photos, which showed him severely emaciated.

Now, Whibley has shared a new picture of himself on his Facebook page upon his release, which is an improvement on his hospital photos, but he still looks a long way from his heyday of the noughties, when he was known as a cheeky, skateboarding pop-punk star with spiky hair and dimples.
Whibley thanked his fans for their support, posting, "Hey everyone, I just wanted to thank you all so much for sending gifts and all of the compassion and support you have shown me.
"It really means a lot to me in this time of recovery. I will be better soon and back out on stage before you know it.
"See you all soon, Deryck Whibley."

Whibley — who was married to Avril Lavigne between 2006 and 2009 — announced news of his hospitalisation in mid- May, describing in a blog post, entitled "Rock Bottom", that his alcoholism had "finally caught up" with him.
After years of hard drinking, the singer collapsed at home and was admitted into a hospital intensive care unit.
Doctors told him that further drinking would kill him.
"I was stuck with needles and IV's all over," he wrote.
"I was completely sedated the first week. When I finally woke up the next day I had no idea where I was. My mum and step dad were standing over me. I was so freaked out. My liver and kidneys collapsed on me. Needless to say it scared me straight."
