He wrote, “Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an ‘opportunity,’ so let’s go with that – I’m having one of those. It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable,’ not ‘curable.’ I apologize if that’s a shock – it was to me too.” Bruce let fans know that he will sit back and get treated. “The good news is, I’m not gonna go into any more detail.”
“I’m posting this because professionally, a few things will have to change – appearances and cons, and work in general need to take a back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie, ‘Ernie & Emma’, this fall. There are several cons this summer that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don’t always go hand-in-hand.”
That’s about it. I’m not trying enlist sympathy – or advice – I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-b—- and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world, and I hope to see you soon!” Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this time.
