Ray Price
Country Music Hall of Fame member
Ray Price has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
and has undergone six months of chemotherapy, he confirmed in a recent interview with the
San Antonio Express-News.
The cancer was discovered while his gallbladder was being removed after a gall stone attack. Following chemotherapy, the tumor
has not grown, he told the newspaper. As a result of the illness, he has curtailed his touring, but he has concert dates scheduled
through June 2013, including a Nov. 18 show in Austin, Texas. He also plans to visit Nashville this month to begin recording
a new album. "The doctor said that every man will have cancer if he lives to be old enough," the 86-year-old singer said.
"I don't know why I got it. I ain't old."
