Over the week, original Danzig drummer Chuck Biscuits' "death" spread through the news like a plague. The fake death was caused by throat cancer. Biscuits would have passed at 44. According to Metal Sucks, the wildfire began with an article by freelance writer James Greene, Jr.
After about a day of mourning from metal fans all over the world, another blog post was written on October 30th to correct the problem:
In May of 2009, JG2Land received an e-mail that ostensibly came from Chuck Biscuits, who appeared to be using an e-mail address that bore his wife’s real name. The message, which was a response to an article JG2 had authored for Crawdaddy.com entitled “An Open Letter To Chuck Biscuits,” found “Chuck” announcing that he was “awake and rotting twice to the gut in the land of flanneled, tree-huggin’ bunny-f**kers.” The drummer also offered himself up for an interview.
Subsequent communication with this apparently false Chuck Biscuits revealed that he was afflicted with throat cancer and could no longer speak. In July, a message signed with the initials of Chuck’s wife was sent that announced the founding D.O.A. member was in the hospital, his condition deemed “inoperable and terminal according to his care givers” and that “alternative therapies” were being explored. Communication dried up until October 26, when an e-mail was sent announcing that Chuck had passed two days earlier:
“In response to the inquires, thank you for all the support. Chuck did not survive his battle with throat cancer. He passed surrounded by his family on 10/24/09.
This ends the insanity. It warms the heart to know that you're still alive and pumping, Mr. Biscuits.
