Poison drummer Rikki Rockett revealed during an appearance on the Eddie Trunk Live radio show that he's completed nine rounds of chemotherapy and seven weeks of radiation treatments after being diagnosed with oral cancer this past summer and that he'll find out in February if the treatments were successful. Best wishes to him and hopefully he can recover fully.

"In June, I kind of got sick," he said. "I had this horrible cold, sore-throat thing, and they were scoping me and they were doing biopsies, and nothing was coming up."

Finally, a doctor did a biopsy and discovered that he had a tumor at the base of his tongue. "This is very similar to Bruce Dickinson, very similar to Michael Douglas, similar to Tom Hamilton, as far as I know," Rockett said.
