Michael Bluestein has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer

Published 1st Jun 2012

Bluestein has revealed via the Foreigner website "I recently went to the hospital following some symptoms, and it was discovered that I have colorectal cancer. This has required me to take a leave of absence from the band for a significant period.

"The good news is that I caught this early enough so that through chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, I will be able to treat this and return to normal life after it’s over. And of course normal life for me includes rocking with Foreigner!!”

Bluestein has started a blog to document his battle: "I’m doing a lot of reading and research about nutrition now, and I bought a heavy duty blender and lots of veggies and fruit to begin some serious juicing this week.”
