The singer and bassist shared the news on Twitter saying, "For the past three months I've been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I have cancer. It sucks and I'm scared, and at the same time I'm blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through this.

"I still have months of treatment ahead of me but I'm trying to remain hopeful and positive.

"Can't wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the near future. Love you all"

The 49-year-old shared a photo of himself in a hospital room on his Instagram Stories with the caption,"Yes hello.One cancer treatment, please."
