Thanks for the news on Niles. He is a brave soul and all our prayers are side by side with him. He lives in the town right next to where we do our show.

Much love to Niles.

He's been making a lot of "Morning Walk" posts on his facebook page lately, sharing his memories of all the artists he worked with, and of course Bernard.

Before Nile explained in today's cancer blog, I had no idea his Morning Walks were a form of healing.

My prayers are with him and all those battling cancer.

The music of Chic captured my attention when I was in my late teens. Niles is a producer and guitarist of the highest caliber, and I hope cancer won't end his life.

I have no intimate knowledge of his sexuality, and of course it doesn't mean anything... BUT: He's a 58 year old world renowned Disco producer, associated with some of the most talented artists on the planet, with no mention of ever having had a spouse according to Wikipedia. Personally, I think it would be fair to assume he's gay.

Is he gay? Not that I know of.

From some musicians that I know they've told me that he dated Felicia Collins (the guitarist from Letterman) for a long time.

Get well Nile.
