Decemberist’s cancer in remission
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 October 2011
Colin Meloy, frontman with indie folksters The Decemberists, has announced that the band’s accordion and keyboard player Jenny Conlee’s breast cancer has gone into remission.
Meloy revealed Conlee was fighting the disease back in May, and that she would have to step back from some of the band’s summer gigs while she received treatment. He posted the good news on Twitter last week, saying: “For those of you wondering, saw Jenny this week; our girl’s officially in remission!”
