“I was sick and, as you know, I already had heart problems, but this time it was not in my heart. I made a normal magnetic resonance imaging of my prostate before traveling to the United States, a few months ago, but I found a shadow, a small tumor, which they didn’t know it was there. That’s why I had to do a very fast operation on July 8. […] Unfortunately, I have to make a short period of chemotherapy, which they call “cleaning”, in the event that there was something they have not let go. “
At the time, Byford revealed that he was creating Saxon’s next album. The release date for the launch of Hell, fire and damnation (2024). “It’s the advantage of having a free time”The artist joked.

Since this question lacks the answer, you should not miss the opportunity to see them live.
