Reg Presley, frontman of 60’s rockers The Troggs, has sadly been diagnosed with lung cancer, and will no longer perform with the band.
The band made the announcement through their official website, with Presley writing that although he ‘doesn’t feel too bad’, he would be retiring from the band. He also confirmed that he was currently receiving chemotherapy.
The singer wrote: “As you all know I was taken ill whilst doing a gig in Germany in December. During my stay in hospital tests showed that in fact I have lung cancer. I am receiving chemotherapy treatment and at the moment not feeling too bad.
“However I’ve had to call time on The Troggs and retire. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the cards and calls and for your love, loyalty and support over the years. A big thank you to Jackie for running the fan club and keeping you all up to speed, and a huge and special thank you to Chris, Pete and Dave. I shall miss you all. Lots of Love. Reg.”
The Troggs are a band most famous for their hits ‘Wild Thing’, ‘Love is all Around’, and ‘With a Girl Like You’, and they sold millions of records worldwide.
Stereoboard wishes Presley a quick and healthy recovery.
