Former drummer for The Band and successful solo artist, Levon Helm, has been given the all clear following a cancer scare after losing his voice.
Helm was on tour in June when he lost his voice leading to a biopsy being carried out on his vocal cords. He was diagnosed with a lesion on his vocal cords which has successfully been removed by laser and, following healing and rehabilitation, will allow him to return to performing and singing without any further consequences.
He took time out to thank his loyal fans for their support and good wishes.
