Guitarist Doug Aldrich Diagnosed with Throat Cancer
Veteran rocker Doug Aldrich — former guitarist for Whitesnake and Dio, and current member of The Dead Daisies — has been diagnosed with throat cancer. The silver lining is that the cancer is treatable, but he’ll have to miss the Dead Daisies’ upcoming tour dates.
A statement from the Dead Daisies read, “Hi, to all Daisies fans. We have some crappy news we’d like to share… Unfortunately Doug has been diagnosed with a treatable throat cancer and has to undergo surgery this week.”
It continues, “Moving forward, Doug will not be available for the next run and subsequently long-time good friend & band mate from the Whitesnake days, Reb Beach, will be filling in for the upcoming European dates. Please join us in wishing Doug all the best for a speedy recovery. We look forward to having him back on deck really soon. We’ll keep you posted!”
