Charles Bradley battling cancer

R&B star Charles Bradley has been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
The singer has cancelled an upcoming tour after doctors discovered a cancerous tumor, and the 67-year-old is now focused on his health.
“I’m getting the best medical care and we are all extremely optimistic,” Bradley said in a statement. “I will fight through this like I’ve fought through the many other obstacles in my life.
“My upcoming tour dates will be postponed so I can concentrate on healing. Thank you all for understanding. Music is how I share my love with the world, and the love that my fans have given back brings me so much joy. I look forward to seeing your gorgeous faces soon, and to continue to share my love through music.”
Bradley and his backing group the Extraordinaires were scheduled to tour North America this autumn.
The singer, who once toured as a James Brown impersonator, released his debut album, No Time For Dreaming, in 2011.
