A heartbreaking announcement has shaken the music world — one of the most iconic voices of the ’80s has come forward with devastating personal news. The artist, known for his raw energy and unforgettable presence on stage, revealed that he’s been forced to step back from performing due to a life-threatening diagnosis.
According to a statement released by him and his fiancée, doctors have discovered a rare and extremely aggressive illness that’s affecting multiple critical areas of his body, including the head, neck, and throat. The emotional message has sparked an outpouring of love and support from fans across the globe.
“This news completely shattered our world,” the couple wrote, adding that despite the darkness ahead, the artist continues to show strength and even his signature sense of humor.
The artist in question is David Roach, the longtime frontman of the heavy metal band Junkyard, active since 1987. Known for his gritty voice and hard-edged charisma, Roach became a staple of the American rock scene.
He’s now facing a tough fight against squamous cell carcinoma, a dangerous and fast-moving form of cancer. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched by the band to help with the overwhelming medical costs.
