What's up? I'm Cory with the story, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. Ginger Wildhart, the 61-year-old frontman of the Wildharts, has been diagnosed with mantle-cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. He shared the news on the band's social media this Tuesday, saying he has refused treatment and expects two to three years left. Despite the tough diagnosis, he's staying positive and plans to keep performing right up to the end. Health issues first hit during the band's United Kingdom headline tour last December. Ginger felt severe pains that sometimes forced short breaks on stage, but he powered through by taking painkillers to deliver full shows for fans. The band described him as in fine-fettle overall, with a strong spirit guiding them forward. Fans have rallied with messages of support, focusing on his long career and the music that defined it. Now confirmed after medical test post-tour, Ginger is still writing new songs and has no plans to slow down. All upcoming live dates were made on track.

Meanwhile, the band urges everyone to bring positivity as they face this next chapter. They invite fans to catch shows soon, promising the rock will keep rolling louder than ever. This episode is supported by our sponsor. Head in, sound on, lights out. That is the routine, S-O-L-I-SOLY-PILLO.com.
