September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month. 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed, so we want to encourage everyone: talk about prostate cancer with your doctor! If you’re not at risk, talk about it with your family. And if you need some music to listen to in the waiting room, we’ve put together a playlist of musicians affected by prostate cancer.

Some of these artists died from prostate cancer; others are from their families (talk to your family!) and some of them are helping raise funds and awareness this month at two special events sponsored by PCaBlue, the non-profit for whom Buddy Guy serves as national spokesman. Here’s the playlist – give it a listen, and read below to see how each artist is connected to the cause.
