Guitarist and founding member of New York Dolls, Sylvain Sylvain, is battling cancer and is already undergoing treatment, for which there is a fund raiser campaign. “Hi Everybody: I know there has been some curiosity, speculation and, yes, rumor about why I haven’t been Rampaging songs on FB or, more importantly, out on tour promoting my book “There’s No Bones in Ice Cream” and playing in a town near YOU. First the BAD news: For about a year now, I have been battling cancer. Then the GOOD news:I have an upcoming surgery with a great doctor that may do the TRICK.   There will, however, be a somewhat long recovery period (at least a year).  I have not been able to work since last year and have more surgery scheduled.  I love life! As hard as life has been to me these past 2 years I want to live and I know with your love & support I’ll have the best chance that I could ever have. Love. Sylvain Sylvain” that’s the message Sylvain posted on gofunme.com
