Former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes has cancer. 

In an Instagram post, Holmes’ wife and manager revealed that Chris has throat and neck cancer. As a result, he has to drop out of the “Monsters of Rock” cruise. 

The post claims there was no metastasis, which is good news. 

Holmes will start a seven-week treatment as soon as possible, and a GoFundMe has been started here.
