Although they don’t have the best possible relationship lately, Blackie Lawless published a message after Chris Holmes’ diagnosis with cancer.

“The entire W.A.S.P. family are all optimistic of a positive outcome concerning the diagnosis for Chris. I certainly wish him the very best. – Blackie Lawless”

A few days ago it was publicly announced that the former W.A.S.P. guitarist was diagnosed with throat and neck cancer.

This post is not easy to write because of the personal nature of it and we would rather you hear it directly from us before stories and rumours start to circulate and by respect for all of you who love and support Chris , we feel that this is exactly what we need at this time. Recently Chris was diagnosed with a cancer in throat and neck but the medical team have assured us there has been no metastasis and this is a good news . He will have to start as soon as possible a treatment of 7 weeks
