After being diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer, the musician looks back on his lengthy career with the Beach Boys, America, and more — and discusses what might be his final solo LP
"God gave me such a beautiful voice, and I really did use it to honor him and to sing my best at every single performance," Foskett tells Billboard. "It's killed me to walk off some of those (recent) performances knowing I just didn't sound very good. So when I listen back to these songs I cut before my voice really went downhill, it's like, 'Wow, I wish I could do that again.'"
"I'm open to anything," Foskett says. "Some days are really good for me, and some days are not. My doctor says 'From now on you have only one job, and that's to survive. Everything else is secondary.' But part of that is your mental health, and there's nothing more fun and more fulfilling for me than being involved and doing something either on stage or in the studio. That's what I love most, and I'll keep doing it as long as I can."
