His battle with cancer is apparently not going well. Here's what Miles posted on Ian's MB: "Many of you may not know this but my brother Ian is very ill with cancer and it's not looking good. Stewart and I plus our Mother are here in LA with him and his two daughters at this difficult time. I am sure this news will be devastating to many of you as it was to all of us. This is the reason Ian has been unable to contribute to this message board for a while. I have joined the site to keep the lines of communication open with all of you who have been on the site so long. I will check the site often and hopefully be able to respond with an approximation of the flair of my brother. Miles Copeland" For both is daughters to be at his side is very telling - Barbara travels world-wide with Mile's bellydancing troup and Chandra lives in New Zealand. If they are with Ian, there's a reason. He's also getting a lot of messages on his MB from people he used to work with. The word is out that he might not make it. I can't even begin to describe what I feel. Please, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Let other Police fans know that he needs our support, no matter how small.
