Onslaught founding member and guitarist Nige Rockett makes his return to the Live stage with the band after a 3 year stage absence following a long battle with illness, his first appearance back will be on the 70000 Tons of Metal Cruise as Onslaught kick off a year of 40th Anniversary shows celebrating the release of their debut album 'Power From Hell'.
Nige has endured 2 spinal operations (upper and lower spine) during his forced hiatus and also a number of cancer related operations / chemotherapy.
With both conditions now thankfully in full remission / recovery and continuing to heal positively the road back begins right now!!
Nige comments: It's been a kinda brutal time over the past few years but it's great to finally be back, I'm not 100% by any means and its gonna take a fair while to get the fitness back but this will help massively for sure.
Sadly no more head banging for me, the surgeons told me that it was the most likely cause of the original spinal injuries and that i must behave in the future or risk a recurrence.!
See you all very soon in the Pit.!
