Drummer Frankie Banali announced that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer but that treatment is going well and that he will rejoin the band for future dates. The band has gone through several personnel changes in it's history, among the most notable being when Randy Rhoads left to join Ozzy Osbourne's solo band and after the death of lead singer Kevin Dubrow. Rhoads' departure brought about the return of Quiet Riot after a two year hiatus and also spawned the first Billboard #1 metal album, Metal Health, with songs that covered and paid tribute to classic rockers Slade (who then had another hit album of their own).
