If different types of cancer could in any conceivable way be categorized as "better" or "less bad" than each other, Colon cancer definitely is one of the worst, and imo no-one deserves to die of this... Rest in Peace.

Damn, another one gone and by the worst type of cancer there is. James Murphy recently went into relapse and I've sent money to him as have others to help with medical costs. We're losing entirely too many good people to this shit, and not just musicians. I've lost relatives to colon and pancreatic cancer, and it's fucked. Sadly Jonas' cancer hit him fast and so he didn't have a chance to fight it. Hvile i fred, mine Norske bror.

He died the day before the benefit concert? Wow. What a shame.

I didn't know him or the band, but it's always sad to read news like this... RIP.
