How Kansas Rebounded From a Tumultuous 2025
Kansas’ busy 2026 itinerary follows a tumultuous period for the classic rock institution. Singer Ronnie Platt had to take some time off touring in early 2025 after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thankfully, his treatment was painless and he was back on the road quickly.
“It really feels like it was just a bump in the road,” Platt told UCR. “When I think about other friends who have gone through things like chemotherapy and being sick all of the time, I haven’t gone through that and I feel very lucky. I really feel lucky that Mother Nature sent me up a flag. You know, something told me, ‘Don’t put off seeing a doctor this time.’ The things that happened, the people that helped me and [those who] I met along the way were just amazing.”
