🚨 Absolutely crazy that so-called “journalists” keep pushing the lazy, baseless theory that The Velvet Sundown is “AI-generated” with zero evidence. Not a single one of these "writers" has reached out, visited a show, or listened beyond the Spotify algorithm. 1/

I’m with my peeps. Great crowd in Toronto for the Push For Your Tush walk/run. Met several fellow colorectal cancer survivors and thrivers and we helped raise $75k for Colorectal Cancer Canada. If you’re of age get screened! A routine colonoscopy is the reason I’m alive today.

Coming to you this morning from my hospital room a piece about living with a temporary ostomy. Surgery to reverse it went fine. Hope this might help put someone else’s mind at ease. They can be a life saver. Thanks to @QuereshyMD and his UHN team. ctvnews.ca/health/myths-b…

My amazing wife Tammy is taking on the 21km through Toronto for the Princess Margaret Walk to Conquer Cancer! She's raised $28,000 for cancer research in honor of my double cancer diagnosis. Couldn’t be prouder! Huge thanks to everyone who has supported her and #CancerResearch
