ANDY WILLIAMS BATTLES CANCER

 

 

andy-williams-00a9sSinger Andy Williams says he is battling bladder cancer.

The 83-year-old Williams broke the news to the audience at his Christmas show on Saturday night at the Moon River Theatre in Branson, Montana.

The silver-haired Moon River singer, who hosted a popular 1960s television variety show, missed planned performances this northern autumn with an undisclosed medical condition.

Williams received a standing ovation when he appeared and told the crowd that bladder cancer "is no longer a death sentence" and that he would survive. The paper also reported Williams has yet to start treatment.

The veteran crooner vowed to return to the stage next September and October to celebrate his 75th anniversary in show business.

The theatre's Facebook page says Williams's appearance was a surprise and that he sang a song with the show's performers.
