Poison’s Rikki Rockett Reveals His Triumph Over Cancer
In an exclusive interview with Michael Nova of the inspirational website RiseUpEight.org, Rikki Rockett, drummer of the rock group Poison, reveals the inside story of how he overcame oral cancer to make his comeback in the music industry. In this personal in-depth interview, Rockett discusses how he discovered that he had oral cancer and how he contracted cancer through HPV, a virus transmitted through intimate skin-to-skin contact.
Rockett shares how the disease failed to respond to standard treatment. Fortunately for Rockett and his legions of fans, experimental immunotherapy treatment saved his life.
Rockett also discusses his rise to fame in the music industry, sharing some of the secrets of his success. He shares little-known insights into his early years: how the group fans know now as Poison began as a teen group, playing in whatever dives they could find just to get a toehold in the music industry.
Finally, Rockett shares how fatherhood has transformed him from one of rock’s bad boys into a responsible parent, as well as his latest ventures in the music industry as an enterpreneur.
