ROSE TATTOO Guitarist PETE WELLS Loses Battle With Cancer
Mar. 27, 2006
ROSE TATTOO guitarist Pete Wells passed away today after a long
battle with prostate cancer. The 58-year-old guitarist, who was
diagnosed with cancer in 2002, had been undergoing treatment,
which had caused him to stand aside from touring with ROSE TATTOO.
A posting on the ROSE TATTOO official web site reads: "We have to
announce with much sadness that Pete Wells passed away today. Our
thoughts are with his family and friends. The good news is that
Pete's music will live on for the inspiration of generations to
come. R.I.P., Pete Wells, a great musician, a rock 'n' roll
legend, and most importantly a great friend."
In an August 2005 interview with Australia's "60 Minutes", Wells
said that a visit to his doctor three years earlier revealed he
had prostate cancer that was so widespread, not even surgery
could help.
"That's the point about the bloody thing is that if I got it
early — a year or six months earlier or something — it would have
saved an awful lot of inconvenience, I can tell you — pain and
misery and the rest of it, you know," he said. "So the trick is
to get it early. I mean, they can fix this damned thing."
