Nile Rodgers Cancer-Free: Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' Collaborator Announces Good News Via Twitter

Legendary guitarist/producer and recent Daft Punk collaborator Nile Rodgers just announced via Twitter that he is cancer-free after battling prostate cancer since 2010. Doctors succesfully removed tumors from the "Get Lucky" co-star's prostate and he spread the word via social media.

WOAH, I just got home from the Dr. He gave me video of him going down inside my body. It's a little too weird to post but maybe some stills

Instead of showing gross internal video I'll show my doctor's fly examination room. I'M ALL CLEAR AGAIN! https://t.co/cw0WzW1l9A

"Instead of showing gross internal video I'll show my doctor's fly examination room. I'M ALL CLEAR AGAIN!" Rodgers added.

The Chic guitarist and hit-maker said that the success of his collaboration with Daft Punk helped to get him through his battle with cancer.

Via Official Charts Company:

"I was facing life and death issues and then to get something so rewarding as a number one record is pretty amazing ... This particular experience rates very high, because two years ago I was stricken with cancer just right out of the clear blue sky ... From that moment I decided I was going to work as much as I could, play as many concerts, do as many records, because that's what I live for."
