Former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes’ wife has set up a GoFundMe page to assist in the costs for treatment for cancer of the throat and neck.

The 63-year-old musician’s wife and manager, Cathy-Sarah Holmes first shared the news of his cancer diagnosis in a social media post on Saturday (February 5).

In a message on the GoFundMe page, Holmes’s drummer Steve Jackson writes: “Hi Everyone, this is a tough message to write. You probably won’t know me but for the past 4 years I have been playing drums for Chris Holmes or you may know him as the ‘Mean Man’. In the time I’ve spent getting to know Chris, I can assure you this is so far from the truth, as many of you who have met Chris will agree. He has a lot of time for his fans and I wanted to do something to help out after his recent Cancer diagnosis. The medical bills are coming in quickly, as they are working to get Chris the Cancer treatment he needs, as soon as possible.

“As he is unable to tour during this time and he is going to have 7 weeks of extensive treatment, he is gonna need a little extra support to help to get himself back to full health and to kick cancers ass!! This is where hopefully you can help out! If you feel you can afford to donate something, I’d be very grateful and I know both Chris and Cathy would be too. Anything you can give would be a massive help, while he is undergoing his treatment.

“Please feel free to share this to anyone, you know is a fan or friend of Chris, or of the music he has been a part of during his 40+ year career.

“I thank you for all of your kind words that you have sent Chris so far. I know he has seen many of the messages and the extra positivity will help him and Cathy during this tough time. We will keep you updated as treatment progresses.”

Holmes has canceled his appearance at this year’s Monsters Of Rock cruise, however he still expects to be able to complete his previously announced Canadian tour.
