I read that news article posted and it referred to people being shocked about his death because no one knew he had leukemia. I was talking to Dez about this though and he said Arthur Kane had always been a sickly person even back in the day. This is sad but I guess the guy had quite a few health probs all his life. Anyway,R.I.P. AK.

He also had many, many, many other problems that I have heard of. But yeah, I heard he didn't even know he had leukemia. I guess he went in to the doctor thinking he had the flu really bad. I guess though that if he didn't have much money, and probably had no insurance, he just nursed himself as best he could whenever he was sick. But this is all speculation, obviously. I didn't know him nor did I know of his situation on a personal basis.

Was he married, or did he have any kids or anybody?

*raises toast to Arthur "Killer" Kane*

At least Killer got to be onstage again.

On a lighter note, I'm hoping the long-promised Killer Kane full length will finally come to be.
