British veterans Wolfsbane have shared news that their guitarist Jason Edwards was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. More can be read from the band's official statement below.

Statement from the band as follows: "As you all know, Jase played the Genius Tour with a fractured vertebrae. We actually found out in the van on the way up to Edinburgh! With no impact or injury, he's been having tests to ascertain the cause.

"It is with deep regret we have to inform you that Jase has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. This is a bone marrow cancer that there is currently no cure for. It is however treatable. He started his first cycle of chemotherapy within 2 weeks of the tour ending and will hopefully go on to have a stem cell transplant in around 4 months' time.

"This has come out of the blue and is a massive shock to us all! He is mostly fine in himself and is looking forward to spending more time in the studio."
