Elvis Costello battling “very aggressive” cancer

Elvis Costello has apologized for canceling a European tour, but I think we can all forgive him because he revealed that he’s battling a “very aggressive” form cancer.

At some point several weeks ago, he quietly had surgery to remove some kind of tumour, which seemed to arrest the progress of the disease. He was well enough to head out on tour, but the pace proved to be too much. Doctors have told him to rest, so the last six dates on the tour have been canceled.

Here’s his completely Facebook post:
