cancer since February of this year. He was receiving traditional radiation and chemotherapy treatment for his condition

unable to sing or play his harmonica. The surgeons installed a voice box that has a lesser mechanical sound than most
but he will still have to hold his hand over his throat to speak. He has been told he will never again be able to sing
or play his beloved harmonica. Although many fans are mourning the loss of his beautiful voice, he is also legendary
for his ability to plays blues drums. Many are hoping he will again enter the music arena to share his amazing feeling
