- Gerard Smith Of TV On The Radio
TV On The radio's Gerard Smith has lung cancer and will not be joing the band on their tour, playing Radio City Music Hall, April 13th, the day after their lbum is released.
The bands writes: "Gerard is fortunate enough to have health insurance and is receiving excellent medical care. Already we have seen dramatic results. Combine that with Gerard's legendarily willful disposition and it might just be cancer that has the problem. We appreciate your concern and support for Gerard and his family."
No kidding.
Lung cancer is not so good (I've lost a very near one to it) but people do recover and we wish Gerard all the best.
