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," Rodgers wrote.

"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."
