Sum 41's Dave Baksh is now 100% cancer-free, he revealed on his Instagram.

The group's guitarist gave the positive update after having a tumour removed, which he found out about in March.

His post stated, “Within two weeks I went through surgery in order to get rid of a tumour that ended up being #cancer.

"Don’t be concerned, my brush with this serious disease was very short lived thanks to the help of great doctors, a friend that helped me get a bone scan within weeks of my surgery, my family (extended included), the amazing people at #LDK (up the Kzinti!) and last but not least the emotion, physical and celery juice support that @krennykren and my wonderfully amazing gifted, did I mention wonderful, kids gave me.

"Something incredible that this disease taught me is how many amazing and supportive people I have in my life. I’m beyond thankful for you and I’m forever in your debt. So as of now I’m cancer free and ready to enjoy tour life again with a fresh perspective on everything.”

The rocker's mother is currently battling the disease and he is planning to take part in The Canadian Cancer Society's Relay For Life to provide cancer patients with the care they require.
