FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Newly Surfaced Footage Sparks Discussion Around Edsel Dope, Wayne Static, and Static-X History
Newly surfaced footage shared by documentary filmmaker Matt Zane has sparked renewed discussion among fans surrounding the history between Edsel Dope, Wayne Static, and the Static-X legacy.
The video, recently published by Zane on his official Instagram account, features a conversation involving Edsel Dope that Zane says provides additional context regarding his interpretation of Static-X’s “Zombie” music video and the relationship between members of the band during that era.
According to Zane, the footage supports his long-held belief that the Frankenstein-style character featured in the “Zombie” video was intended as a reference to Wayne Static. Zane has previously discussed his perspective on the subject, stating that his time working within the Static-X camp gave him insight into the circumstances surrounding the band’s history.
The clip also includes remarks from Dope regarding Wayne Static’s personal struggles and the future of Static-X, comments that have prompted reactions from fans online and renewed conversations about the complicated history surrounding the band.
The footage was reportedly not intended for public release and has become a topic of discussion among the Static-X community, with fans debating its context, meaning, and implications.

Former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes has revealed that he is once again battling cancer. After successfully overcoming throat and neck cancer in 2022, the guitarist has now been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is currently undergoing radiotherapy in France.

Holmes previously received financial support from fans through a crowdfunding campaign that helped cover the costs of his treatment during his first cancer battle. Now, he and his wife, Catherine, have launched another fundraiser as medical expenses continue to mount.

According to the couple, Holmes‘ current treatment extends beyond what his health insurance will pay for. While emergency coverage has allowed him to begin radiotherapy, many other essential medical costs remain their responsibility, leaving them with significant debt as treatment continues.

In a statement shared with supporters, Holmes and Catherine explained the situation:

“We never imagined we would have to write something like this again. In 2022, just after two years of Covid lockdown, Chris faced throat cancer. A GoFundMe carried us through an impossible moment. We were deeply grateful, and we hoped we would never have to ask again.

Today life has placed us in another hard situation, and we want to speak about it honestly.

Chris has begun radiotherapy in France for prostate cancer. The treatment is essential and cannot be interrupted.

Because of an administrative error linked to our marriage registration, the health insurance system placed Chris under “emergency only” coverage. He had to wait three months before receiving any care at all, and only the radiotherapy given during the month of July is covered.

Everything else falls to us:

• Hormone therapy (standard and new generation)
• Scans and PET scans
• Biopsy and blood tests
• Daily travel to and from the hospital

This has already left us with €20,000 in medical debt, and the treatment ahead will keep adding to it every month.

Chris must remain in France to receive radiotherapy. Leaving the country would risk his emergency status lapsing, so he cannot travel and therefore cannot work.

Chris has given everything to his music and to the people who listen to it. It is his whole life. Today we cannot carry this alone.

We are grateful to France for granting the emergency coverage that allowed Chris to begin radiotherapy. Now we ask, humbly, for help covering everything else.

If you are able to give, even a small amount, it goes directly to the medication, medical exams, and transport Chris needs to finish his treatment safely. And if you cannot give, your messages, your love, and your presence mean just as much.”

The new diagnosis comes four years after Holmes‘ successful treatment for throat and neck cancer. As he undergoes radiotherapy, he remains in France because leaving the country could affect the emergency medical coverage that currently allows him to continue treatment.

With Holmes unable to travel or perform while receiving care, the fundraiser is intended to help cover ongoing expenses that include hormone therapy, medical testing, transportation, and other treatment-related costs that are not covered by insurance.
