A message from Jon Lord official website ( http://jonlord.org/" rel="nofollow - http://jonlord.org/ ): "I would like all my friends, followers, fans and fellow travelers to know that I am fighting cancer and will therefore be taking a break from performing while getting the treatment and cure. I shall of course be continuing to write music – in my world it just has to be part of the therapy – and I fully expect to be back in good shape next year. God bless and see you soon Jon" Wish Jon to win, we need him and his music. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

Horrible to here. Glad he is optimistic about the outcome. Do we know what kind of cancer/where it is located? ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. |

I'm not pessisimistic, but the last times I read a musician talking about his cancer, it was Dio and he went away just a few months after this announcement (and not to talk about Voivod's Denis D'Amour). I just hope it's a "minor" cancer and that Jon Lord has still some years of music before him. |

Indeed, rarely does one truly get past it for any amount of time. I've had family members "get through" cancer temporarily ...but nope, it comes right back and gets you. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?

Nobody can evaluate how advanced and how dangerous this cancer is; even the physicians can only estimate that. I just don't think it is reasonable to estimate the degree of the disease in this forum; the only thing one can do is think of Jon, hope, light a candle, say a prayer or do something else to (perhaps) give this great musician power. Anyway I wish him all the best. ------------- All in all each man in all men |

I hope he gets well. What a great musician. I'm actually listening to Deep Purple right now. ------------- The future's uncertain and the end is always near. - Jim Morrison |
