      Maybe if Chris didn't say bad things about Blackie everytime he is interviewed then things would be different. Blackie did wish him the best something I have not seen anyone else do. Blackie never says anything bad about anyone in public, what went on their private lives stays private with Blackie.

    This is like crying because your ex-wife, who you've not talked to in 21 years, didn't know or call you to wish you Godspeed on your cancer treatment. Love Chris, but 1) You're assuming Blackie knows [he did issue a statement] 2) You're assuming Blackie cares, and 3) Maybe Blackie wants you to die slow in agony.
    It's weird and highly inappropriate to assume your ex-bandmate is gonna call you out of the blue after a 21-year hiatus. It's just weird. The other is... it's obvious at this point that Chris thought they were bandmates & friends, and Blackie looked at Chris as he was nothing more than a co-worker at best and an employee at worst in HIS solo band, known as W.A.S.P. Chris needs to move on. He hasn't been in the band since 2001, and all of the albums post-Chris were just as killer. W.A.S.P. & Blackie moved on long ago.

    I am currently going through cancer my second time in two years. People do not what to say or do when you are going through the various treatments. Sometimes friends and family just cannot emotionally handle your cancer for one reason or another. I can say this. I have lost friends who I thought were my friends. There were times when I was awake at 3am sick, almost praying to die, wondering where my friends were. Wishing ,hoping and praying for a friend to text me, asking me if I was ok, or just to say I’m thinking about you. Nothing but silence. It hurts. The pain was real. Both physically and emotionally.

    Blackie did wish him well and Chris needs to move on. He keeps begging for money, when there are less fortunate people out there in this world. Regarding publishing that I keep hearing him go on about, it depends on how much work he put into a song. If he just made a few guitar suggestions, then that was his job as the guitarist. If Blackie wrote the lyrics and most of the song format then the royalties should go to him. You usually get a lump sum or wait for royalties, royalties depend on how well the record sells and you have to wait some times years for them to come through. Chris had money twice when he left Wasp. I wish Chris peace and health🙏

I wonder if Chris reached out to Blackie when Blackie broke his entire leg and had to get a titanium rod put in from his hip down 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️
    And for what its worth, Chris left multiple times. No one kicked him out or forced him to leave. Even other WASP bandmates have said the same thing - that Chris left on his own. Eventually you gotta stop taking back people who walk out on you

    I'm a Chris Holmes fan, but he has his own money to pay for treatment and more than most of us - He lives in the French Riveria, which is one of the most expensive places in Europe, but his wife keeps hitting everyone up for money (successive 'go fund me' pages). You'd expect Blackie to contribute some but not all. I think it's very poor that his previous band mates and friends didn't contact him during that distressing time and I'm pleased that he's back up and running.

I found it surprising that millionaire friend, Nikki Sixx, "only" donated $500 (which Chris did state to be "a lot of money") as I would think he could have helped him out much more generously? That said, I have no idea what other contributions and donations Sixx makes throughout the year, so I hesitate to judge. In any case, Cheers! And get well Chris!
