Maybe the Hammond B-3 is cursed...

Awful news from THE CHARLATANS this weekend, as it's been announced that keyboardist Tony Rogers has been diagnosed with testicular cancer. The cancer was found just prior to the band's recent Wrexham show, and Tony has already undergone surgery and a round of radiation/chemotherapy. The prognosis appears good, and the band have not had to cancel any tour dates thus far. It goes without saying that we at Excellent Online wish Tony all the best as he recuperates. The group's fantastic new album, "Wonderland," is due September 10.
