Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford has shared an update on his health after revealing in 2022 that he’d been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
In an interview with England’s Total Rock, Commerford says, “I’m the strongest I’ve ever been in my life.”
“I’m 56 years old,” he continues. “I’m artistic, and I’m focused on that, and I’m proud of it.”
Additionally, Commerford says he’s in a more positive place emotionally after initially feeling “broken” about his diagnosis.
“It took me a couple of years before I could even discuss cancer without just getting emotional, crying about it,” he says. “But what brought me over the edge with that and made me not have to cry all the time was the physicality of, like, ‘Yo, yeah, I’m sick.'”
Commerford also speaks on the importance of early detection, and encourages men to speak to their doctors and consult experts.
