With the news that Dez Fafara's wife, Anahstasia Farfara, has contracted cancer, it puts a wrench in any future plans Dez and his family may have had. With that, he can't drop everything and hit the road so Devildriver is forced to drop off their upcoming leg of the Static-X tour.
Fafara offered these comments:
āHello everyone, My wife has been diagnosed with cancer. I will be staying home to care for her and be by her side every minute as she begins her Cancer fight with surgery and further treatments. Apologies to all but Iām sure you all understand that family comes before work. We thank you for all your well wishes at this time.ā
Fafara noted that his wife underwent a major surgery on October 23rd related to curing herself of the cancer.
