Oasis guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs has given a health update following his first radiation treatment for tonsil cancer.
Bonehead announced he had cancer last month and is scheduled to undergo 30 sessions of radiotherapy and two chemotherapy sessions.
He wrote on Twitter: “Quick update, I had my first session of radiotherapy this morning and am now having a course of chemotherapy which will finish at 6am, so it’s an overnight stay at the Christie Hospital. Another session of radiotherapy in the morning, then home.
“Thirty sessions of radiotherapy and two sessions of chemo in total, so I’ve started and am crossing it off. I won’t bore you with a daily diary, no one wants that, but I’m feelling OK and I’ll probably tweet the usual nonsense as I go along. See you all soon, sorry it won’t be at Knebworth or any of the gigs over summer, but for those of you who are going, have a ball. Much love xxxx (sic)”
