Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy Reveals That He Has Been Battling Liver Cancer
Ratt singer Stephen Pearcy has revealed that he’s been battling liver cancer for the past three years in a new interview. Speaking with YouTube show “Laughingmonkeymusic,” Pearcy made the revelation about his health issues, stating that it was finally time to tell fans what he’s been going through and that “everything’s kind of copacetic now.” “How I found out is just through a blood test,” Pearcy said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “I had hepatitis. Well, then, getting another checkup, I found out, ‘By the way, you’ve got a bit of cancer thing going there. We’ve gotta get in there.’ Then your whole world changes. Still, I didn’t feel like it needed to be out there until I started feeling guilty. Like, ‘Wow, man, I can help some people.’ Get blood tests. Take care of yourself.” Advertis...

DaBaby has issued a new apology amidst the growing controversy over his recent homophobic remarks.
