Todd, 23, made headlines last year after he held up a drug store while trying to obtain painkillers for his addiction. He left the band after that drama and was sentenced to home confinement and a drug program.
Now, he faces the fight of his life, as his cancer has spread and his medical costs are mounting. His supporters have launched a fundraising campaign to help defray some of his increasing medical bills.

For Today guitarist Mike Reynolds has left the band after last week's torrent of tweets condemning homosexuality as a sin. The band issued the following statement about why he left.
"Mike Reynolds is no longer a part of For Today. He has decided that now is the time for he and his wife to put their plans in motion to enroll in bible college, and to begin working toward full-time missions work in the Middle East. Mike will be replaced by long-time friend of the band, and former In The Midst of Lions guitar player, Sam Penner, who will be appearing with the band as they headline their upcoming Fight the Silence tour."
The band issued this video featuring Mattie Montgomery discussing the controversy.
Motorhead frontman/bassist Lemmy Kilmister has just revealed his Motorheadphones. They will emphasize the bass thud, bringing out mid-range sounds, as opposed to burying them in bass. The Leminator said that too much bass takes the soul out of rock and makes it sound like you're listening to music "through a towel." The listening devices are constructed of metal and come in three designs. They will set you back between $50 and $130, so if you're an audiophile, it'll be worth the spend. Additionally, two of the models even have a microphone remote control in them called "The Controlizer." The phones will be available this April. [VH1 Classic Radio]
