(NASHVILLE) - Blues guitarist Luther Allison still hopes to play Rockford, Ill., festival On The Waterfront during Labor Day weekend, said his manager, Miki Mulvehill of Blue Sky Artist Management in Minneapolis. Allison will undergo radiation treatment for lung cancer through at least the first week of August. The cancer was discovered in early July after he complained of blurry vision during a summer blues fests tour. Allison's insurance won't cover his treatment, so donations may be sent to Blue Sky at 761 Washington Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., 55401. And fans interested in Allison can check up on the guitarist's progress fighting his cancer. Access updated information on Allison's conditionat Blue Sky's online address: www.lutherallison.com.
