In March 2006, Cassidy was diagnosed with colon cancer, which put the band’s performances and recording on hiatus until his recovery. In December 2006, Cassidy had completed all radiation and chemotherapy; a one-foot section of the large intestine (colon) was removed through an eight-inch incision in his stomach. An announcement on the band’s website declared Cassidy cancer free as of August 2008.
