May 13, 2009, 15 years ago
Late extreme metal legend Chuck Schuldiner (DEATH, CONTROL DENIED) would have celebrated his 42nd birthday today (May 13, 1967). On his birthday, May 13, 1999, Schuldiner was diagnosed with pontine glioma, a type of brain cancer that invades the brain stem and immediately underwent radiation therapy. He died on December 13, 2001.
His mother Jane Schuldiner has issued the following update:
"Another anniversary. I know I will be fortunate enough to have many emails from all those who remember Chuck on this day, and as always, it helps tremendously to have you to not only remember, but to write and share that with me. After all this time someone said. It doesn't seem like all that time to me, just a blip.I know there are plans in progress right now that I know many of you will appreciate, as the Stealth guitars have been. All this is quite an honor for Chuck's memory, and quite an honor to his family. Many of you have been corresponding with me since 1998, and have become friends, and always will be very dear to me.
Remember, if any of you have a special thing you would like for me to offer, just write to me your suggestions. Many things are already out there, so when I think of something I might like to do, I look on the internet to see who is doing what."
