Sorry but thank you for your understanding and look forward to dancing with you again soon.”
Marlowe revealed the news of his cancer diagnosis to fans on Instagram, saying “cancer spots” were discovered in his digestive system during a colonoscopy and CAT scan.
Marlowe, 58, said in a video message shared with fans that he will undergo treatment this month, including chemotherapy. Marlowe’s cancer diagnosis was first reported in rolling stones.
