Ronnie Platt, the 64-year-old singer of the rock band Kansas, has announced his diagnosis of thyroid cancer but maintains a positive outlook. He emphasized the cancer has a 99% survival rate and is confined to his thyroid, requiring its removal. The band canceled several upcoming shows to focus on his recovery. The assistant manager expressed their commitment to supporting Platt during this time, underscoring the band's hope for a swift return to touring. The band also reassured fans that this is merely a setback in their journey together.
For all of you asking, Tuesday I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer but before everyone gets all excited, it has a 99% survival rate, it has not spread. It's contained to my thyroid.
I sincerely appreciate everyone's positive thoughts and prayers. I have some absolutely amazing people going to bat for me!! as it has been put to me, this is just a bump in the road and will be behind me very soon!
Our goal is to be back on the road as soon as possible. Right now, we're all focused on supporting Ronnie through this.
The band apologizes for the inconvenience and hopes to be back on the road soon.
