The music world was shaken when Roger O'Donnell, keyboardist for iconic band The Cure, shared the news of his recent cancer diagnosis. Fans immediately flooded his social media with an outpouring of love and well-wishes for the 68-year-old musician.
In a post last month, Roger bravely revealed that he had been diagnosed with blood cancer in September of last year. He admitted that he had been ignoring symptoms and finally went for a scan, which led to the devastating diagnosis. However, in his most recent post, fans were relieved to see updated photos of Roger out and about, looking healthy and happy.
The positivity continued as Roger shared a photo of himself with artist Queen Kwong, whom he had met with before her performance in London. In the caption, he praised her as a natural talent and encouraged fans to go see her perform. It was heartwarming to see Roger supporting other artists, especially after his own health struggles.
Despite concerns for his health, it seemed that Roger did attend Queen Kwong's show, as he shared a second photo of her performing on stage. Fans were overjoyed to see him not only out and about, but also enjoying live music. Many left comments expressing their happiness to see Roger looking well and healthy.
Last month, Roger had shared the news of his rare and aggressive lymphoma diagnosis, stating that he had ignored symptoms for a few months before finally seeking medical help. However, he reassured fans that his prognosis is amazing after undergoing immunotherapy treatment and receiving second opinions.
Fans were reminded of the band's previous drummer, Andy Anderson, who passed away at the age of 68 after being diagnosed with cancer in 2019. It was a difficult time for The Cure, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that same year. Led by frontman Robert Smith, the band has seen huge success since its formation in the 1970s, with Roger joining in the 1980s.
