Euroboy, the Turbonegro guitarist whose family probably calls him “Knut Schreiner,” has issued a statement about the “serious illness” that forced the band to cancel multiple tour dates, including Coachella (leaving bassist Happy-Tom with time to find boats full of pot while surfing in California): “In March I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease, which is a ‘lucky’ version of lymphoma cancer (90% percent get healed, according to Wikipedia and other and more reliable health information sources). Since then I’ve been undergoing chemotherapy every 14th day. That has kept me out of business for a while now, not being able to tour, but things have gone a lot better than feared.
