Geto Boys’ Bushwick Bill Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer.


Bushwick Bill, one of the founding members of the Geto Boys, revealed he’s battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Bill, 52, told TMZ that he received the diagnosis in February and has been receiving intense chemotherapy treatments, though it’s too early to tell how his body’s been responding to the chemo.

The diagnosis came as a shock to the “Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta” rapper, as he had been undergoing tests for months on a pancreatic mass that doctors told him was benign.

Bill, whose real name is Richard Stephen Shaw, has yet to tell fellow Geto Boys founders Scarface and Willie D the news but is planning to soon.

“I’ve been keeping it to myself … but I figured keeping it to myself isn’t really helping nobody,” he said in the video. “It’s not like I’m afraid of dying because if anyone knows anything about me from ‘Ever So Clear,’ I died and came back already in June 19, 1991, so I know what it’s like on the other side, so that’s not really what it’s about.”

Bill also said he’s working on three new albums with the hope of his son having residual income after his passing.
