I heard a while back that Duck has a terminal illness. Is this true?

here what i was able to find.
hope that's true!


taken from an interview at:
http://www.guitarist.co.uk/interview...?ID=3&PageNo=2

For the last five years Dunn's activities have been hampered by his recovery from throat cancer. He has no doubt that the illness was caused by the smoky environments in which he has played all his life - but he's philosophical about the price of his place in history.

Man, my Dad once bought this Telecaster Bass knockoff and the neck was out. He took it back to the store after his gig and they shimed the neck with cardboard. Needless to say, he didn't keep the bass very long.

What's wrong with cardboard? I've used it for 20 years.

Yeah, Duck lost a portion of his neck to cancer. Chris (his tech) said that he's doing alot better now. I'll ask Chris about his rig and health and all tomorrow.

Everytime I have seen him live or on TV/Video he had a big ol pipe hangin outa his mouth.
I thought that was his trademark for years?

What a monster player he is!
