The 60-year-old country music star visited social media on Sunday (June 12th) to share news about his illness with his fans. “I was diagnosed with stomach cancer last fall,” Keith tweeted. “I have spent the last 6 months receiving chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. So far so good. “I need time to breathe, recover and relax.” The singer added: “I look forward to spending time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner rather than later. I can not wait.”
