Argh, that is horrible news. I surely hope he recovers!

The prognosis doesn't sound good "life threatening".

Sad.

Sad .. I was just listening to this the other day ...

That is an excellent Toto song Flower, but Fergie Frederiksen wasn't the vocalist for that song.

If I am not mistaken, he only sang on one Toto album,

And the horror year continues....

Hopefully he can overcome this, but early signs aren't good. I wish him all the best.
