Green Day revealed that guitarist Jason White has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer, but they expect that he will make a full recovery since the cancer was discovered early.

White first began performing lead guitar live with the band in 1999. The group posted the following message on their official website about White's cancer:

"We have some news to report regarding our brother Jason White, and wanted you to hear it from us before word spread. Jason recently underwent a routine tonsillectomy, and his doctors discovered a treatable form of tonsil cancer.

"Thankfully they caught it early and he should make a full and speedy recovery. Please join us in sending him love and positive healing vibes during this time."
