Rage Against The Machine’s Tim Commerford on living with prostate cancer: “I’m the strongest I’ve ever been”
Rage Against The Machine bassist Tim Commerford has opened up about his experience of living with prostate cancer, saying he’s “the strongest [he’s] ever been”.The 56-year-old musician confirmed his diagnosis in 2022, saying that he had his prostate removed just before Rage were about to go on tour. “Now I’m in the situation that I’m in, which is, hold your breath for six months,” Commerford said at the time.“It’s not a good one and not one that I’m happy about.
I’m just trying to grab ahold of the reins. It’s gonna be a long journey, I hope.”He added: “My dad died in his early 70s from cancer and my mom died from cancer in her 40s.
Split the difference to 65 and I’ve got 10 years. I’m trying to get to the 100-song mark – I have some goals now.”During a new interview with TotalRock, Commerford spoke about his almost three-year cancer journey. “I’m the strongest I’ve ever been in my life,” he explained (via Blabbermouth).“I’m 56 years old.
And I’m artistic, and I’m focused on that, and I’m proud of it. I’ve always been very proud of being fit as an older person, because most people that are my age are not; that’s the truth of it.
