Fans became aware of Cormac Roth’s cancer diagnosis in November of last year when he made the announcement himself via Instagram, writing a message that now stands as a powerful testament to his spirit in the face of so much adversity:
“In November of 21 I was diagnosed with stage 3 germ cell cancer. Since then I’ve been fighting it daily, throwing everything I can at it. Chemo, high dose chemo, medication, transplants, transfusions, surgeries etc. It is called Choriocarcinoma, it is rare, and it has managed to stay many steps ahead of me no matter what I throw at it. It has taken away half of my hearing, 60pounds of weight, my confidence, and will continue its murderous path until I can manage to stop it some how, and kill it. But it hasn’t taken away my will to survive, or my love of making music. It hasn’t taken me down yet. If you or someone you love is effected by cancer, please feel free to reach out for it is an emotional rollercoaster unlike anything else.
Love to you all please make sure to do the things that you love. Life is short. It is chaos. And you never know when it’s going to be you.
Be well and go to the doctor.
Fuck cancer.”
