August 25, 2010, 14 years ago
Y&T;'s Deve Meniketti has issued the following update in regards to Phil Kennemore, original bass player of Y&T;, who has recently been dagnosed with metastatic cancer:
"As many of you know already, Phil Kennemore was recently diagnosed with metastatic cancer. Phil has undergone a barrage of tests, a long hospital stay at Stanford, an operation, and will soon start aggressive chemotherapy to regain his health and get him back with the band on stage again.Because of this and potentially more treatments to come, I have put together a fund for Phil so that people from around the world can make donations to help him with his enormous medical bills. I have set up a page for this fund and you can visit it this location, for more information on how you can contribute.
Feel free to spread the word and share this link with your friends. Any donation, no matter what the size, will be greatly appreciated."
In a recent statement Kennemore commented: "With the bad news I also got the good news that along with surgery and treatments, I will be back rockin' and rollin'. I'll be getting a hip replacement as well as back surgery, which means I'll also be more agile. The doctor said that this is treatable and I'll be walking out of this place and I'll be able to go on the road and do everything I need to do to continue my rock 'n' roll life, in due time."
