\u2019Six weeks ago my specialist called me and said, \u2019You should start playing the Lotto.\u2019<\/b>
\nA bit of bad news for fans of Elvis Costello. Today the legendary singer-songwriter revealed that he\u2019d recently been diagnosed with a \u201cvery aggressive\u201d cancer. Fortunately, his doctors caught in time however and it seems that he\u2019s going to be okay. \u201cSix weeks ago my specialist called me and said, \u2018You should start playing the Lotto,\u2019 he said in a lengthy statement posted to his official website . \u201cHe had rarely, if ever, seen such a small but very aggressive cancerous malignancy that could be defeated by a single surgery.\u201d
After going under the knife, Costello proceeded with a summer tour, but as he noted, \u201cThe spirit has been more than willing but I have to now accept that it is going to take longer than I would have wished for me to recover my full strength. Therefore, I must reluctantly cancel all the remaining engagements of this tour.\u201d
On the good news front however, it looks like he\u2019s ready to drop a new, as-yet-untitled album come the Fall. \u201cThe Imposters and I \u2014 together with several of our other friends \u2014 have made a magnificent new record of which we are truly proud. It will be issued in October, I believe. We will return at the soonest opportunity to play that music and your favourite songs that still make sense to us all.\u201d
