D Magazine reveals that nationally syndicated radio host Kidd Kraddick hid a huge secret before his untimely death. He had cancer since 2009. He had been getting radiation treatments and he was taking medication. In addition to what was described as a manic lifestyle of eating fast food, smoking (which he kept secret from fans) and constantly being on the go, he kept his cancer diagnosis secret from everyone except his best friend Toby Wilson . Sadly, Kraddick was greatly concerned that if he revealed his illness his nationally syndicated show would suffer. He also didn’t want to be pitied and he thought being comedic would not go well with the ‘guy who has cancer.” This story was EXCELLENTLY written and paints an amazingly clear picture of what happened behind the scenes before his death from a massive heart attack in New Orleans this year.
