Sum 41 guitarist Dave “Brownsound” Baksh has shared an update on his current health.

In an Instagram post, the musician explained that he had undergone surgery to remove a mass.

Don’t be concerned, my brush with this serious disease was very short-lived thanks to the help of great doctors, a friend that helped me get a bone scan within weeks of my surgery, my family (extended included), the amazing people in #LDK (up the Kzinti!) and last but not least the emotional, physical and celery juice support that [partner Kendra Emmett] and my wonderfully amazing gifted, did I mention wonderful, kids gave me.

Baksh added, “Something incredible that this disease taught me is how many amazing and supportive people I have in my life. I’m beyond thankful for you and I’m forever in your debt.”

He also confirmed that he is “cancer-free and ready to enjoy tour life again with a fresh perspective on everything.”

Sum 41 are currently on tour with Simple Plan. They have not announced an Edmonton show.
