With Warbeast frontman Bruce Corbitt showing continued improvement in his battle against esophageal cancer, he has decided to return to the stage this coming weekend for a special live performance. He said of that Fort Worth, TX:
“Greetings everyone! For those that haven’t already heard, Warbeast was asked to reunite to play a 3-song set at this year’s Ft. Worth Weekly Awards. Warbeast was chosen as part of their 2018 Hall of Fame Class. So I’ve decided to give it a shot for such a special occasion. Jono Garrett will be playing drums for us because Joey is out on tour.
The awards ceremony will be next Sunday evening, July 8th at the legendary Ridglea Theater. It is open to the public for $5. I think it’s something like 6:00 to 10:00 and our award and performance might be early.
Anyway, I’m really excited and thankful to the Ft. Worth Weekly for showing us this much appreciation. I’m proud that I’m even feeling good enough right now to be able to attempt it. But I do know my limitations and I will be careful.
All I know is I get to experience that feeling of being on stage again… and that’s why I keep on fighting. Because good things do finally happen if you can just hang in there long enough. You know damn well!”
Corbitt originally exited the band once his cancer battle began to take its toll. He continues to receive chemotherapy treatment in his ongoing fight. Corbitt himself said he plans to push back his upcoming treatment this week so he can perform at the show.
