A sad day for rock fans..
Randy Castillo who spent many years playing drums for Ozzy and most recently with Motley Crue has lost his battle with cancer.
Truly a huge loss for rock and roll...
May you rest in peace Randy...

This Friggin cancer is gettin' everyone.
Too bad it's not the political Juggernaught AIDS is.....

That's really sad.
A lot of the metal guys have been dying of cancer. Dave Pritchard (Armored Saint), Eric Carr (Kiss), Chuck Schuldiner (Death).
At least I think Chuck Billy (Testament) was doing well, last I heard.

a message from Nikki Sixx on motley.com:
IM SORRY TO INFORM YOU THIS WAY, BUT RANDY CASTILLO PASSED AWAY TONIGHT. HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.
HE WAS A GREAT DRUMMER..
HE WAS A GREAT CARING PERSON AND A VERY SPIRITIUAL SOUL.
WE WILL MISS HIM SO MUCH....AND JAM TOGETHER AGAIN SOMEDAY SOON.

Another dead metal man:
Paul Baloff, lead singer (at one time) for Exodus, the band that Kirk Hammet was a member of before Metallica.
Apparently this guy died of a massive stroke.
I just get this bizarre feeling that Ozzy will out live me...and I've got another 50 years on this planet at least.

Yes, he was diagnosed with some form of cancer a while back (can't remember the specifics). He is, however, recovering.

Unfortunatly, with cancer I dont think there really is a "recovery" you may have a down town..sometimes it lasts months..somtimes years..and then when you least expect it, the worst happens.

A lot of times, it depends on the type of cancer and how far it progressed.
Some people do recover fully and live to a ripe old age. Sometimes the treatment will buy a few more years before it comes back.
