Exodus drummer Tom Hunting is cancer-free, according to a new message from guitarist Gary Holt.
Hunting was diagnosed with having squamous cell carcinoma, a form of cancer earlier this year. He successfully underwent a full gastrectomy on July 12 to remove the cancerous gastric tumors. Holt has been using his social media to provide updates.
Today, Holt wrote "Update of Tom! Tom has been home for around a week now, is doing very well despite the pain, is eating real food but also adjusting to a new relationship with food and a new way of having to eat. But he’s a rock in all this, strong as hell and he’s gonna crush this. And he is CANCER FREE."
Holt continued "They got it all. Fuck yes! I know if he was on social media he would thank each and every one of you for all the well wishes, donations, tickets for the benefit show that were purchased as well as the raffle items. Only a matter of time before he is crushing the drums again! He’s got some real healing to do but he is on his way to recovery"
Exodus recently announced they're moving their long-awaited new album Persona Non Grata back from its original June release date to this November in order to accommodate Hunting
