Jason Newsted Beats Cancer, Returns to Music

0:00On May 3rd, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted just got the all clear after beating throw cancer. The 63-year-old musician finished treatment and heard the good news a few weeks back, marking a huge win after his diagnosis earlier this year. He found out about the cancer back in 2025 and went straight into laser surgery. Newsted says it hit him hard enough to finally rest up properly, something he had never done before in his non-stop career. The whole ordeal flipped his lifestyle upside down. He ditched alcohol and weed for good, trading them in for homemade lemonade and a super-clear headed vibe that he calls the clearest in his adult life. Now he's channeling that energy into music, gearing up for a North American tour with Jason Newsted in the Chop House band, starting this July. It's a reminder that even tough battles bring unexpected upsides and Newsteds already back in the game, stronger than ever. That's the story for today.
