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...

Alan Jackson, 66, Makes Heartbreaking Announcement Amid Serious Health Battle
The country legend shared a devastating announcement at his final tour stop — with one glimmer of hope.

Michelle McGahan Updated:May 18, 2025

Jackson, 66, has been battling Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease for years, an inheritable disease that causes "lifelong progressive muscle weakness and atrophy of the arms and legs," per the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association website.

"Nine days after Alan Jackson performed at the 2025 ACMs — a set that garnered the country legend a standing ovation — the singer announced at his Friday, May 17 Milwaukee tour stop that the concert was "last road show of my career." The 66-year-old country mainstay, who has been battling health issues for years, made it clear he will no longer tour again — but he will perform one final show in Nashville.
