October 7, 2008: There has been an article floating around the internet that paints a rather bleak future for The Knack’s front man, Doug Fieger. While it is true that Doug’s cancer has come back, Doug would like to reassure everyone that he is among the living and continues to buy green bananas. The following message is from Doug:


"Thank you all for the outpouring of support during my latest bout with cancer. It’s true that my cancer is serious, but all cancer is serious. If there is such a thing as a good time for this to happen, then this is it. Physically and mentally, I am in great shape. I am a vegetarian; I exercise and have been clean and sober for 25 years. This combined with the very best medical treatments available I am looking forward to the future.


All I ask is for everyone to please remain positive, keep your prayers and warm thoughts coming and together we can remain strong.


You all have a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to meet you all and thank you in person."


Love,


Doug Fieger


On June 7, 2007, Doug's latest scan shows that his cancer is in remission! Doug would like to thank you for all your prayers, thoughts, and cards. Doug truly believes he could not have had this wonderful news without all the love and support he has received from all of you. Please continue to keep Doug in your hearts, your prayers and in your thoughts! Together we have worked a miracle!


On August 3, 2006,Doug Fieger, lead singer of The Knack, underwent surgery at Cedars Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles for removal of two brain tumors. According to Dr. John Yu, the surgery was successful and Fieger is expected to have a full recovery.


A Message From Doug
