Saxon frontman Biff Byford has completed his latest round of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with bowel cancer, and he’s already looking ahead to returning to the stage. In a new video message shared on social media, Byford expressed:
“Hi, it’s Biff here from Saxon. I wanna give you an update. So, yeah, I’ve done the chemo now. And, yeah, I’m gonna be getting fit now, ride the bike. I’m doing some vocals for the new album and, yeah, rehearsing for the UK tour, which starts in Belfast. I think it’s at the beginning of November, the 3rd or the 4th of November. We’re gonna be doing the ‘Wheels Of Steel’ album complete, obviously, in the set, with a lot of other songs as well, obviously. Udo is gonna be doing ‘Balls To The Wall,’ the Accept album, a brilliant album. So he’s gonna be doing that completely. I think Tygers of Pan Tang in Newcastle are gonna do a special setlist. And we’ve got a new band called Untamed Silence with us on two shows, Manchester and Sheffield. So, yep, it’s gonna be great. We’re looking forward to it, and we’ll see everybody there. A few tickets left in some shows, so get your tickets bought, and come on. Peace and quiet.”
