Entertainment: Grammy winner has cancer
Grammy-winning singer
Lou Rawls has been diagnosed
with cancer and was
being treated at a Los Angeles
hospital, his
spokesman said last week Friday.
“He was diagnosed
with cancer a
while back and he’s
undergone various
treatments,” Paul
Shefrin said, adding
that the illness became
public in an
Arizona court where the 70-
year-old crooner was seeking
an annulment of his
marriage.
Shefrin declined to provide
further details or confirm
a report in the Arizona
Republic that Rawls was diagnosed
with lung cancer a
year ago.
“Don’t count me out,
brother,” Rawls told the
paper from Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“There’s been many
people who have
been diagnosed
with this kind of
thing and they’re
still jumpin’ and
pumpin’.”
Rawls said in the
interview that he
had smoked regularly
as a young
man but quit 35
years ago.
Rawls was born in Chicago,
grew up performing in
the church choir and got his
start in show business as a
Gospel singer before turning
to R&B, soul and pop.
He has won three Grammy
awards and sold more than
40 million albums.
