Fri 4th Dec, 2009 in Local News

Punk legend Rowland S Howard has had to pull out of Homebake due to medical reasons. According to a statement issued by the festival, Howard has made the decision based on “medical advice received yesterday” and has extended a heartfelt apologies to his fans.

Having finally released his new solo album Pop Crimes in October, Howard was set to be a highlight of the festival for those punters wanting to avoid My Hapiness sing-alongs and children.

Rowland only recently went public with news that he has been battling liver cancer for sometime now. We wish him all the best and hope to see him back this way mighty soon.

Nobody has hearted this, be the first!

I wonder if he has Hep C from his IV drug use? If so, his prognosis from liver cancer can't be too crash hot.

Poor guy.

Hopefully he gets much better and returns with a full Australian tour. Pop Crimes is one of my favourite albums released this year.

The stuff.co.nz article sounded pretty grim for prognosis. Despite that he still seemed fairly upbeat.

firstly, spell his fucking name right. secondly, i really felt his absence yesterday, he was a major drawcard for me. here's hoping to a full recovery and many more years of his amazing writings.
