Earlier today, Collins tweeted that Womack had been hospitalized for pneumonia, Hypetrak reports, but he later updated the 68-year-old singer's condition, revealing that he's been diagnosed with early-stage cancer.
"I JUST SPOKE TO OUR FRIEND BOBBY WOMACK," Collins wrote. "He Wanted You All to Know That He Loves You & Thxs for the Prayers. Docs Says He Is In 1st Stage of Colon Cancer, He is Very Up Beat About His Future, we laughed & joked before we hung up. Thxs Funkateers, we will get him Back on the One!"
A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee whose string of hits includes "Woman's Gotta Have It" and "If You Think You're Lonely Now," Womack has been enjoying a late-career resurgence. In 2010, he appeared on the Gorillaz' Plastic Beach album, and after touring with the group, he worked with mastermind Damon Albarn on the forthcoming The Bravest Man in the Universe, his first album of new material since 1994. The collection arrives June 12 via XL.
This latest health scare follows bouts with prostate cancer and drug addiction, but as Womack's recently released single "Please Forgive My Heart" suggests, the enduring crooner has got plenty of life in him. We at Spinner wish him a speedy recovery.

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via~~--Ａgeｌｅｓｓ'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group?

My sister had colon cancer. She beat it. I just saw Bobby at the Venue in Hammond Indiana. He was ill then but still managed to put on a very good show. All I can say is, Bless you Bobby!

Meant to add, it is eminently treatable if caught early. Hope that the regular colonoscopies were done so that this would have been caught early, in which case it is more of a time interruption in life than a fatal blow. So, here's hoping you were getting the recommended checkups. On time. Regualarly.
