.
(TeamRock Radio) Thunder guitarist Ben Matthews has been given the all-clear following cancer treatment. The 50-year-old was diagnosed in July after malignant cells were discovered during tonsil surgery. He'd been replaced by Pete Shoulder of The Union for the band's appearance at the Calling festival.

Now frontman Danny Bowes reports: "You'll be pleased to hear that Ben saw the oncologist on November 4 and was given the all-clear. It means his treatment worked.

"He's over the moon, as we are. He's still quite poorly; but all he has to do is concentrate on recovering his energy and strength. The side-effects will hopefully subside quite soon." Read more here.
