On February 16, 2017, he posted a video to YouTube in which he revealed that he was fighting cancer for the third time, this time testicular cancer. He said that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 disease and that there was nothing can be done for it. He added that the only thing that was working against him is the amount of toxins that he lives with daily from drinking wine every day and taking prescription drugs for anxiety and insomnia. He concluded by saying that he was going to fight like hell and not let the cancer win. Pete Czerwinski was born on January 4, 1964, in New York City.
