I think the title says it all but, for those who aren’t “into the whole brevity thing,” Bobby Womack, who had been diagnosed with colon cancer in March, has been given word by his doctors that the cancer is completely gone from his body. In other words: the cancer got the fuck out.
Womack, who will release his first new album in 13 years, The Bravest Man in the Universe (produced by Damon Albarn and Richard Russell) on June 12 via XL, posted the following on his Facedbook 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.
I bet there are fans out there who would buy that tumor as a memento. Anyway, congratulations on a continued existence, Mr. Womack.
