Chuck Panozzo is one of the members of Styx, a Chicagoan band that hasn’t stopped rocking since the 70s, having released as many as 15 original albums with successes such as “Mr. Roboto” and “Babe”. Panozzo dealt with all necessary issues at the same time by announcing that he’s both gay and HIV positive in 2001. He’s one of the unlucky ones that are suffering not only from HIV, but also from AIDS. The musician is still performing and also putting a lot of effort into the fight for gay right. “My T-cells are up and I keep up with my prescription. I can’t complain…You have to have goals and faith in yourself,” he says. Inspiring!
