Sum 41’s Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh “cancer-free” after surgery on tumour
Sum 41 guitarist Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh has revealed that he recently received treatment for a cancerous tumour, but said he is now cancer-free.Sharing a lengthy message on Instagram this week, the musician told fans that he noticed a lump in March and had it checked out. “Within two weeks I went through surgery in order to get rid of a tumour that ended up being #cancer,” Baksh said.“Don’t be concerned, my brush with this serious disease was very short-lived thanks to the help of great doctors, a friend that helped me get a bone scan within weeks of my surgery, my family (extended included), the amazing people in #LDK (up the Kzinti!) and last but not least the emotional, physical and celery juice support that @krennykren and my wonderfully amazing gifted, did I mention wonderful kids, gave me.”The statement served as “a thank you letter” to fans who had expressed their support, Baksh explained, adding that he was at one point unsure whether he’d be able to participate in Sum 41’s current tour with Simple Plan.“Something incredible that this disease taught me is how many amazing and supportive people I have in my life,” the guitarist continued.
