Poison drummer Rikki Rockett has revealed that he is is battling oral cancer.

The 54-year-old opened up about his diagnosis on SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk Live (via Blabbermouth.net) on Monday and revealed that he was diagnosed over the summer.


I went through my hair metal phase in the '80's. I wish the guy the best in his attempt to recover.

Love Rikki. He was a good drummer who had the ability to put his ego in check and play within the confines of the material that made him rich and famous. I don't care what anyone says - Poison was awesome and they have many great songs.

My wife had the same cancer and the same # of radiation treatments. I wouldn't wish that shite on anyone. The radiation burns the inside and outside of the throat and neck and things will never taste the same again.
