The legendary Pantera frontman Philip Anselmo has allayed fans’ concerns following a barrage of phony messages created by artificial intelligence that claimed he was fighting blood cancer, as per MetalInjection. The 57-year-old artist took to social media on Tuesday, February 24, to explicitly address the claims, stating that he is busy with several musical endeavors and in good health.
Ladies and gentlemen, Philip H. Anselmo here. There’s an A.I. page that is going bananas about me, and it’s putting out bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. I’m healthy as a horse. There’s incredible stuff going on. Mixing the new Down. King Parrot is coming into town. Performing the new En Minor in the studio, trying to get that finished. There’s a zillion things going on. Anyway, I hope everybody else is healthy, as we are over here. Much love to you, and thank you everyone who wished me a speedy recovery and all that. Come on. Damn A.I. shit.

The Abbott brothers, guitarist Dimebag Darrell and drummer Vinnie Paul, founded the American heavy metal group Pantera in Arlington, Texas, in 1981. Today, the band is made up of vocalist Phil Anselmo, bassist Rex Brown, and touring musicians Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante. The Abbott brothers, Brown, and Anselmo, who joined in 1982 and 1986, respectively, made up the group’s most well-known lineup. In the 1990s, the band is credited with creating and popularizing the groove metal subgenre. Pantera, which has sold about 20 million records worldwide and been nominated for four Grammy Awards, is regarded as one of the most popular and influential bands in heavy metal history.
