Roger O’Donnell, the keyboardist for The Cure, announced he was diagnosed with cancer last year.
The 68-year-old musician took to social media to share the details.
"In September last year I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. I had ignored the symptoms for a few months but finally went for a scan and after surgery the result of the biopsy was devastating," O’Donnell wrote.
He continued by saying he’s completed 11 months of treatment "under some of the finest specialists in the world," including immunotherapy and radiotherapy.
