MUDVAYNE guitarist Greg Tribbett will miss the band's "L.D. 50 25th Anniversary" tour after his wife reportedly lost her year-and-a-half-long battle with cancer.

Earlier today (Thursday, September 11),Greg's bandmates shared the following message via social media: " Tour starts today! We are going to miss our brother Greg on this tour, sending him and his family all the love."

The "L.D. 50 25th Anniversary" tour will kick off tonight in Dubuque, Iowa and conclude on October 26 in Uncasville, Connecticut.

According to a GoFundMe campaign that was launched more than a year ago, Debbie Tribbett was diagnosed with angiosarcoma, a rare type of cancer that develops in the lining of blood vessels (endothelium). It is an aggressive malignancy that can spread rapidly and is difficult to treat.

Debbie's passing was confirmed in a September 7 post on the MudVayNe Mob fan page on Facebook.

"With the heaviest of hearts we mourn the loss of our dearest most beautiful friend Debbie Tribbett," the post read. "Anyone who has been here from the start of the Mob family knows she was a huge integral part of this page and the family she did take a step back once she needed to but was still watching and sharing as she always did. She was fiercely supportive of MUDVAYNE and her loving husband Greg always so proud! I thank her for bringing her love and light to so many of us who were lucky enough to connect with her. We miss you beautiful sweet friend more than words can say god bless you and may your family be blessed with strength".
