iRock Nashville Music News Update – 90 sec – 2026-09-14 1:46 PM
In a heartfelt message to fans, W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless has called for support and honor for former guitarist Chris Holmes, who is currently battling prostate cancer. At 68, Holmes has recently started chemotherapy in France, just a few years after overcoming throat and neck cancer.
Lawless shared the news via social media, expressing the devastation felt by the W.A.S.P. family. He encouraged fans to show their love for Holmes, whether through financial contributions or words of encouragement. “Let him know what he’s meant to you,” Lawless stated.
Holmes’ wife, Catherine, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover mounting medical expenses, which have reached €20,000 due to complications with their health insurance. She emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting that Chris must remain in France for treatment.
As a key figure in W.A.S.P. since its inception, Holmes has contributed significantly to the band’s sound and legacy. Fans are rallying behind him during this challenging time, showing that the rock community stands strong in support of its own.
