Blackie Lawless rallies support for former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes

Blackie Lawless, the leader of W.A.S.P., has requested the band’s supporters to “support” and “honour” Chris Holmes while the former guitarist fights prostate cancer, as per Blabbermouth. Just a few years after receiving treatment for throat surgery, the 68-year-old Holmes recently started chemotherapy in France for prostate cancer, according to his wife Catherine in a GoFundMe campaign.

The entire W.A.S.P. family are devastated with the news that our Brother and originator, Chris Holmes is now in a serious fight. We ask that all of you, who have been moved and touched by the Band stand with us all, to support, as well as to honor him with whatever you can do, be it financial, or words of peace and encouragement. Let him know what he’s meant to you. W.A.S.P. Nation Support You All !! — B. L.
