A member of the rock band KANSAS is opening up publicly about his recent cancer diagnosis.

KANSAS announced on social media on Thursday, Feb. 20 that Ronnie Platt, who plays the keyboard and acts as a vocalist in the band, has thyroid cancer.
“I met with my doctor today and found out I have surgery scheduled for March 4,” Platt said. “So far, the prognosis has been very good. I’m looking forward to getting this behind me and being back in the saddle as soon as possible. I appreciate the outpouring of support I’ve been receiving. Thank you.”

We wish you success in your recovery process Ronnie! What a band! what craft!..What a life! Amazing songs like no other.
I can't do justice to Kansas's songs so if anyone else who is a masker can do better please do so anyway I'm out of my league here and probably out of range but I'll go out on a limb and make a fool of myself for Kansas just the same and try to sing some high range falsetto and I'll put together a chorus quadrupling my voice something I'm probably not good at ..here goes nothing...
