David's Message Of Support For Nile Rodgers

We wish you well...

David Bowie has sent in a message for Nile Rodgers following the sad news that Nile has contracted cancer. Here's the message...

"All our love and support goes out to you, Nile, you are the greatest. David and all at BowieNet."

The message follows Nile's recent harrowing blog entry entitled Walking on Planet C on his official website. In the blog Nile describes how the diagnosis affected him and how music remains so important, particularly at a time like this.

He is pictured above with David during recording sessions for Let's Dance and the picture below that includes fellow Chic member, Bernard Edwards.

As you know, 1983's Let's Dance and 1993's Black Tie White Noise were both produced by David Bowie and Nile Rodgers.

On a positive note, Nile has been posting messages on both Facebook and Twitter suggesting things are improving and that he has regained the use of his hand. He is also talking about the possibility of some live shows later this year.
