    Now for some good news from former Died Pretty drummer Chris Welshwho is recovering at the Melbourne home of longtime friends Tony Robertson (Hitmen, The 31st) and and Tony’s wife Samanthaafter surgery to remove a cranial tumour.

    “My headache is still pretty bad but gradually improving. The surgery took longer than originally expected. Five and a half hours instead of three,” Chris posted online yesterday.

    “I got the results from the pathology biopsy yesterday. Fortunately the tumour was benign. Back for a couple of blood tests, CT scan and oncology appointment next week and back to the neurosurgeon in six weeks. Apart from that I just have to take it easy and rest up.”

    Chris has been in a long fight against lung cancer that’s forced him to leave his family in Thailand. A GoFundMe has been raising money to support him since 2023 and you can help here:
