Sharon Jones recovering after cancer surgery

American soul singer, Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings has revealed she’s recovering after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumour.

Jones cancelled her upcoming new album release and subsequent tour earlier this month after being recently diagnosed with stage-one bile duct cancer. Give The People What They Want was originally scheduled to be released on on 6 August. However, it was decided that it’ll be pushed back until Jones’ health improves.

Now though, Jones has taken to Twitter to update fans on the situation. “Out of surgery, and I am feeling better than I ever expected. The nurses at the hospital are taking care of me and I am feeling so grateful,” she wrote, later adding: “Tubes in my throat, tubes in my nose, tubes in my stomach, tubes in my–I’m all tubed up!”

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings last released an album in 2011.
