At sixty years old, Carol Langevin, the brother of Voivod drummer Michel “Away” Langevin, received a pancreatic cancer diagnosis, as per Blabbermouth. To lessen the financial burden associated with his time away from work, travel, treatments, and unforeseen costs brought on by his sickness, Carol has started a GoFundMe campaign.

We want to give [Carol] the peace of mind he needs to focus on what truly matters: his health, his family, and his fight. Every donation, large or small, will make a real difference. If you cannot contribute financially, simply sharing this campaign is already a valuable gesture. Together, let’s show Carol that he is not alone. Let’s offer him our support, our generosity, and our hope.

The band also shared the news on his social media channels.

This year has been a hard one for the Voivod family. At the start of the year, we learned that E-Force, who fronted the band in the 90s, has been fighting prostate cancer, and he is still out there on the road with us, filling in for Snake with everything he has. Snake is home at the side of his partner Christine, who is bravely facing colorectal cancer. They are in our hearts every single day.

And now cancer has struck our family once more. Carol Langevin, brother of our drummer Michel “Away” Langevin, is fighting pancreatic cancer at 60. A GoFundMe has been set up to support Carol and his loved ones through treatment and the hard road ahead.

If you can donate, every contribution counts, no matter the size. If you cannot, please share this post. It truly makes a difference.

For more than 40 years, this community has shown us what solidarity means. Let’s show Carol, and the whole family, what the Iron Gang can do.

Thank you for your love and support.
