Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker is "very sick and if he does not get well soon, it may end him as well as his career," according to a personal message sent to a Japanese MICHAEL SCHENKER fan site by the guitarist's personal manager, Nancy Lewis. The entire message reads as follows:
"Normally I would not post such a message but Michael is very sick and if he does not get well soon, it may end him as well as his career. I cannot elaborate on the details except to ask all of you who love him to pray for him. He is out of the country and I cannot fly there because it is too expensive and I don't know if even I would be of any help. It has to be serious for me to make such a private issue public. All those of you please pray as hard as you can and maybe between all of us, we can make a difference. That is all I can say right now. I am very sorry to have to make this kind of announcement. Thank you, Nancy Lewis personal manager for Michael Schenker."
A follow-up message offers a short update on Schenker's situation without elaborating any further on his condition or the nature of his illness:
"Michael will be returning the US tomorrow to go to an American doctor who can help him get well very quickly. Tell his fans we still need their prayers for a speedy recovery for Michael. Thank you."
Since this was posted yesterday, Michael has returned home but prayers are still with him....

This is very sad to read. It almost sounds like he has cancer.  |

I know, doesn't sound good at all. I'm digging trying to find more information and keep everyone up to date. |

Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker's personal manager, Nancy Lewis, has released the following statement via a Japanese Michael Schenker fan site:
"Michael received a strange untraceable email 2 weeks ago He is not dying, not sick or anything else, well, he had a cold. Some person has circulated emails on the entire net that Michael was in bad shape and it has caused quite a commotion. Since we share the same Internet accounts, they got into my computer as well and all my sent mail was deleted as well as Michael's. I am sorry if this has caused anyone any harm but since we both save our emails in storage it was easy to fabricate a story to look like it was based on fact. All emails of that type would have been posted on Michael's personal site as there have not been any emails to this site for a while. If any of you have received emails saying they were from me and still have them please forward them back to me at nlewis9996@aol.com. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE IS NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING, WRONG WITH MICHAEL SCHENKER. I CAN ONLY FEEL COMPASSION FOR THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO WOULD DO THIS TO MICHAEL THANK YOU AND I AM SORRY THIS HAS HAPPENED. Nancy Lewis, Personal Manager for Michael Schenker."

Nooo! Fawkeen way! Not my dude! He is such a cool person besides being one of the best guitar players ever. Horrible news. I'm calling my buds... WHAT A DRAG! He was in my town in late November.  Here's my best friend Richard and Michael after the show.  This is Michael grabbing a sharpie to sign Wes' Scorpions t-shirt, that's Wes' hand with the green cuff... -trexx |
