Hüsker Dü’s Greg Norton Diagnosed With Cancer

Hüsker Dü and UltraBomb bassist Greg Norton has announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer. The punk legend shared the news on his Facebook page following the cancellation of Ultrabomb’s UK tour.

“At the beginning of June, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My doctors at the Mayo Clinic believe I have excellent odds, but we need to get in right away and move forward with treatment and surgery,” he wrote. “Due to this, we have canceled our upcoming UltraBomb dates in England and Scotland. We will also be pushing our fall tour in the states back a bit to allow me time to recover and return in full force. My sincere apologies to those who had tickets purchased or who were planning on attending our upcoming shows across the pond. I am frustrated, as I know you may be feeling disappointed or upset. I was really hoping to be sharing how excited I was to be coming back to play England for the first time in 35 years!”

For fans wanting to help, a GoFundMe has been set up to help Norton and his family during this trying time.

Norton finished his post by adding, “for all of my brothers out there, go get tested. It could be a life changer!”

We’re wishing a speedy recovery to Greg Norton.
