Former W.A.S.P. guitarist CHRIS HOLMES has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Chris's wife and manager, Catherine Savean Holmes, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to assist the couple with medical bills. "Chris has begun radiotherapy in France for prostate cancer. The treatment is essential and cannot be interrupted. Because of an administrative error linked to our marriage registration, the health insurance system placed Chris under "emergency only" coverage. He had to wait three months before receiving any care at all, and only the radiotherapy given during the month of July is covered. Everything else falls to us".
