Overview
With all the bad news that has been occurring this year, it is great to hear that Bobby Womack has been declared free of cancer.
The R&B great and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member had announced he was suffering from cancer back in March. At the time, Womack had been in the hospital suffering from pneumonia when the colon cancer was discovered and diagnosed as 1st stage, indicating that it was very localized.
Today, the following announcement was made on Womack's Facebook page:
We're delighted to announce that Bobby Womack has successfully undergone surgery for suspected colon cancer. A tumour was removed last night which turned out to be cancer free. We wish him all the best in his recovery from the operation. Thank you for all your kind messages and support.
Womack's new album, The Bravest Man in the Universe, will be released on June 12.
