Doug’s current band Dead Daises has posted the following info regarding his status:
Hi, to all Daisies fans. We have some crappy news we’d like to share…
Unfortunately Doug has been diagnosed with a treatable throat cancer and has to undergo surgery this week. Moving forward, Doug will not be available for the next run and subsequently long-time good friend & band mate from the Whitesnake days, Reb Beach, will be filling in for the upcoming European dates. Please join us in wishing Doug all the best for a speedy recovery. 
We look forward to having him back on deck really soon.
We’ll keep you posted!
