SAXON’s frontman Biff Byford has completed his first round of chemotherapy for bowel cancer. On Friday (12th), Byford shared a video message on the band’s social media, expressing how he’s “feeling pretty good” despite the treatment being “a bit brutal at times.”

Read below his statement:

“It’s Biff here. Just checking in to let you know how things are going. Yeah, so I went through the first chemo. I’m feeling pretty good, actually. A bit brutal at times, but I had a week off, so I’m feeling good now. Yeah, Belfast is sold out, by the way, so get your tickets bought for the rest of the shows. Everything’s going well. So, yeah, I’m gonna be out getting fit, exercising in a couple of weeks, ready. At the moment, writing the new album. There’s a track playing in the background, actually. If you can listen, check it out.

So, yeah, we’ll see everybody in November. And I’ll give you an update later on, next month, to see how everything’s going. So yeah, keep the faith and peace and quiet. See you soon.”

SAXON had to cancel or postpone some of their shows due to Byford’s problem but as we can see they are confident that everything will go as planned and they will hit the road again soon!
