Robert Hunter's music career was on the verge of explosion onto the mainstream scene when he suddenly disappeared. His wife Becky was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Robert said it sent him sideways but also inspired him. “She’s just the most loving, patient and kind girl I’ve ever known. Life is so unfair. But Becky doesn’t see it that way. She never did. She says we’ve been chosen by God to endure this. I didn’t believe her at first. I spent a lot of time questioning everything. Those were the darkest days of my life. It’s strange because I was supposed to be the one trying to save her. But she was, all along, saving me. She told me not to give up, to keep writing and publish this crazy story I’ve been working on – Relapse. And to make another record. Eventually, I had no choice but to listen. Becky was bald and promising me that everything was going to be OK.”
The two have spent a considerable amount of time in recovery, focused on the road ahead. Robert says that the only thing that mattered was the cure. The doctors have worked miracles. It’s a heartfelt story you’d have to hear to believe. He got a publisher, finished the new record in Nashville - and there’s a whole new adventure about to unfold. The nationwide “Relapse + revival” tour is about much more than promoting a book and a record. It’s a chance for the dynamic pair to see the whole country and have a grand adventure – just like Becky hoped for, when she was in treatment.
Now Becky is in remission – and the future has never looked brighter! See Robert Hunter perform acoustically – live at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, brought to you by Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith.
Get a copy of the book Relapse with every ticket purchase and meet Becky, the courageous and tenacious girl, who inspired Relapse, revival and everything after.
