Cancer-Stricken Former WHITESNAKE Guitarist MEL GALLEY Celebrates 60th Birthday

March 13, 2008

UK's Express & Star reports: WHITESNAKE guitarist Mel Galley celebrated his 60th birthday against the odds, surrounded by celebrities, friends and family.

The rock legend from Cannock revealed last month that he only has a short time to live after being diagnosed with cancer.

Friends were planning to bring forward his birthday celebrations after hearing the devastating news, but Mel was determined to make it to the landmark occasion. Former DEEP PURPLE star Glenn Hughes flew over from his Los Angeles home to celebrate the birthday of his former bandmate at The Park Gate Inn, in Cannock Wood.
