Saxon Lead vocalist Biff Byford has posted an update on his battle with cancer. In a special social media posting, Byford discloses his recent diagnosis following the band's  Japanese Tour in late April and his upcoming 'mopping-up' chemotherapy treatment.


Also, Byford discusses the recent postponement of Saxon's European tour in France and Spain until next spring. At the same time, he undergoes a short period of chemotherapy, but has been told by doctors that his prognosis going forward is positive. All tickets will remain valid for the new rescheduled dates, which will be announced on SAXON’s social media channels imminently.

Unfortunately, Biff’s treatment is affecting the band’s upcoming festival performances. The band will have to cancel their appearance at Trutnoff Open Air later this month and has postponed their performance at Neuborn Open Air, which will now take place next year. Biff has reassured fans that Hell, Fire and Steel UK & Ireland Tour this November will be going ahead as planned, along with SAXON’s headline performance at Metal Hammer Paradise in Lübeck, Germany. The band’s Hell Fire and Steel UK Tour is currently close to being SOLD OUT, so fans are advised to grab the last few tickets quickly to avoid disappointment, as this will be the last opportunity to see SAXON this year in UK and Ireland and to hear the band’s classic Wheels of Steel album played in full for the last time from start to finish.
