Roger O’Donnell of The Cure Beats Aggressive Lymphoma, Urges Early Cancer Detection

September 2, 2024 5

Roger O’Donnell, the longtime keyboardist for The Cure, recently revealed that he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma in September 2023. As part of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, he shared his journey on X (formerly Twitter), urging others to prioritize their health and seek early testing. O’Donnell recounted how he initially ignored the symptoms for months, leading to a devastating diagnosis after surgery. However, after nearly a year of rigorous treatment, including surgery, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy, his health has significantly improved. He expressed relief and optimism, saying, “I’m fine, and the prognosis is amazing.”

O’Donnell emphasized the importance of early detection, advising, “Cancer CAN be beaten, but if you are diagnosed early enough, you stand a way better chance. If you have the faintest thought you may have symptoms, go and get checked out.” He also highlighted the significance of support, encouraging those who know someone suffering to reach out and talk, as every word helps. His message underscores the critical role of awareness and timely action in battling cancer.

In addition to O’Donnell’s personal update, The Cure has been active on the music front. The band recently concluded their “Shows of a Lost World Tour” in September 2023 and is set to release new music in October. Their upcoming release, “Novembre: Live in France 2022,” will feature live versions of new tracks and support climate charity initiatives. This marks The Cure’s first official release of new music in 16 years, further solidifying their enduring influence on alternative rock.
