“Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery,” the 60-year-old musician said. “So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover and relax.”
“I am looking forward to spending this time with my family,” he added. “But I will see the fans sooner rather than later. I can’t wait.”
