Legendary Country singer B.J. Thomas, 78, announced today that he is battling stage 4 lung cancer.
“I just wanted to take this unique opportunity to share my gratitude to Gloria, my wonderful wife and my rock for over 53 years, my family, friends, and fans. I’m so blessed to have had the opportunity to record and perform beautiful songs in pop, country, and gospel music, and to share those wonderful songs and memories around the world with millions of you. I ask all of you for your prayers during this time and that my music can live on with you.”
Thomas remains optimistic that he will beat it as he seeks treatment in Texas. Therefore, let’s say a prayer for the man that gave us songs like Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head, Hooked On A Feeling, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, I Just Can’t Help Believing, (Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song, Don’t Worry Baby, Whatever Happened To Old Fashioned Love New Looks From An Old Lover, and the Growing Pains’ theme As Long As We Have Each Other.
