Ratt singer Stephen Pearcy revealed a pretty shocking detail about his personal life. He's been dealing with liver cancer for the last three years.
He made the revelation during a recent interview with Laughingmonkeymusic, saying he's been holding onto the information for three years.
“How I found out is just through a blood test. I had hepatitis. Well, then, getting another checkup, I found out, ‘By the way, you’ve got a bit of cancer thing going there. We’ve gotta get in there.’ Then your whole world changes. Still, I didn’t feel like it needed to be out there until I started feeling guilty. Like, ‘Wow, man, I can help some people.’ Get blood tests. Take care of yourself.”
Thankfully, treatment is going well. “Everything’s kind of copacetic now. I’m on a ritual and monitoring things. I don’t know why I’m still here, but, look, I’m appreciating every day and minute above ground here, because all of our peers are seemingly disappearing. And it’s such a drag. But it’s under control.”
We wish Stephen the best and a speedy recovery.
