Sharon Jones cancels album
NEW YORK, USA (AP) — Soul singer Sharon Jones has cancer and has cancelled plans for an album and tour in 2013.
A news release yesterday says the 57-year-old has stage-one bile duct cancer and needs immediate surgery.
Jones and her band, the Dap-Kings, had planned to release Give the People What They Want on August 6 and were already touring. The singer was forced to miss a few shows recently while looking for a cause of her illness.
