I wanna keep you up to date on what’s happening with my health and why we’ve had to cancel some shows." "So, yeah, I got sick and, obviously, as you know, I had a heart problem. So this time it wasn’t my heart. I went for an MRI scan on my prostate gland before I went to America a few months ago, which was okay, but they found a shadow, a tumor, a small tumor, which they didn’t know was there. So, that’s why I had to have an operation done really quickly on the 8th of July," he said last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvZfDaNvevw&pp=ygUKc2F4b24gMjAyNdIHCQlNCgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D
