TV On The Radio's Bassist Gerard Smith Diagnosed With Lung CancerTV On The Radio's bassist Gerard Smith has been diagnosed with lung cancer, it has been confirmed.

The band, who are due to release their new album 'Nine Types Of Light' on April 12, confirmed the news about Smith in a statement on their website.

"Upon the completion of Nine Types of Light, Gerard was diagnosed with lung cancer. As a result, he has been undergoing treatment and will be unable to participate in the upcoming tour. Gerard is fortunate enough to have health insurance and is receiving excellent medical care."

"Already we have seen dramatic results. Combine that with Gerard's legendarily willful disposition and it might just be cancer that has the problem. We appreciate your concern and support for Gerard and his family."

Smith will not be joining TV On The Radio on their upcoming tour whilst he undergoes treatment.
