Sheepdogs drummer Sam Corbett says he has cancer and not touring with band
SASKATOON – Sheepdogs drummer Sam Corbett says he’s been diagnosed with cancer.
In a Facebook post, Corbett says the disease was caught early and has a survival rate of 96 per cent.
But he says he won’t be able to join his Saskatoon-based band on tour in the United States and Europe.
Corbett didn’t say what type of cancer he has, but notes that he had surgery over the summer to remove a tumour.
He says he began further treatment on Monday.
No shows will be cancelled, and other drummers will be substituted in.
The Sheepdogs are set to play New Orleans on Tuesday.
