(Classic Rock) X guitarist Billy Zoom says he is overwhelmed by fan support as he begins chemotherapy treatment for bladder cancer. The veteran punk feared he and family would lose their home as a result of medical bills - until fans raised $76,000 of a $50,000 target via a GoFundMe campaign.

It's his second time facing cancer after being treated in 2010. Zoom says: "Facing months of cancer treatment is tough, but not as tough as worrying about taking care of my family through it all.

"We still hadn't completely recovered financially from my last bout with cancer. I really wasn't sure, aside from lots of prayer, how I was going to manage to keep our home and family together through this."

He continues: "Our most heartfelt thanks go out to those of you who have contributed to our wellbeing, so that our energies may be concentrated on beating this - and reassuring our children that their daddy is going to be okay." Read more here.
