Bobby Womack is Cancer Free

As Spinner previously reported, singer Bobby Womack was diagnosed with colon cancer earlier this year and required surgery. Now, according to Pitchfork, Womack has just been given a clean bill of health from his doctors and is reportedly cancer-free.

"We're delighted to announce that Bobby Womack has successfully undergone surgery for suspected colon cancer," a note on the singer's Facebook page reads.

"A tumour was removed last night which turned out to be cancer free. We wish him all the best in his recovery from the operation. Thank you for all your kind messages and support."

Womack's upcoming album The Bravest Man in the Universe drops June 12 via XL. After facing bouts of drug addiction and a nasty case of pneumonia this record is a testament to the singer's will to survive. Check out his latest single "Please Forgive My Heart" below. We're thinking of you Bobby!
