“The original prognosis was very scary. I have a very tough battle ahead, but I am so grateful to say that after several rounds of chemotherapy and other treatments, I am in regression. The road ahead is not going to be easy but cancer has found an opponent and I intend to keep fighting.”

“I really wanted to be with you at every Quiet Riot concert since it was the 1st. time in 38 years I missed a show.” Frank Banali said he feels so much better and stronger now:

“I plan to play with Quiet Riot at the Whiskey A Go Go concert on Saturday, October 26th, and go on tour in 2020, so I hope to meet you there. I appreciate the strength of all Quiet Riot fans and hope you continue to support us and keep me in your thoughts and prayers. ”

“Peace and love, Frankie Banali”
