Eddie Money has revealed that he is currently battling stage 4 esophageal cancer. The rocker who canceled his summer tour dates following heart valve surgery discussed the diagnosis in a new clip from his AXS TV series Real Money.
I thought I was going in for a check-up and [the doctor] told me I have cancer, Money said. We found out that I had cancer and that it was stage 4 and that it was in my liver and my lymph nodes and a little bit in my stomach
It hit me really, really hard.
Moneys wife Laurie specified, Eddie has been diagnosed with Stage 4 esophageal cancer. Its in his esophagus, its in the top of his stomach its where the tumor is and its also spread to his liver.
The episode of Real Money detailing Moneys cancer battle will air September 12th on AXS TV. The singer received the diagnosis last fall while filming the series second season, which will now focus on Moneys cancer and the impact it has on his family.
What I dont want to do is I dont want to keep the fact that I have cancer from everybody, Money added. Its not honest. I want to be honest with everybody. I want people to know that cancer [treatment] has come a long way and not everybody dies from cancer like they did in the Fifties and Sixties. Am I going to live a long time? Who knows? Its in Gods hands.
In July, Money canceled his summer tour after developing pneumonia while recovering from his recent heart valve surgery. The heart issue was a condition unrelated to his cancer, AXS TV noted. Despite the multiple health issues, Money still plans on returning to the road later this year.

Ugh!
But, I hope he beats the cancer.
