“Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery. So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover and relax. I am looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait.”
Keith told his fans they were the best in the world after thanking them for their support, and fans would agree that he, too, is an incredible person. We’re sending him our best as he takes time to recover and rest.
