According to a report from People.com, Eddie Money, the iconic singer-songwriter, has been diagnosed with cancer by his doctors. The 70-year-old singer, real name Edward Mahoney, revealed his diagnosis in a reality television series clip from his show, Real Money.
Money said in the clip, “I thought I was going to get a checkup and the doctor said to me that I got cancer.” His wife, Laurie, confirmed in the preview clip that Eddie has stage 4 esophageal cancer, and it has spread to his liver.
According to Eddie, the news was hard to take. In the singer’s words, the 1970s/1980s artist doesn’t want to withhold that information from anybody, and it’s best for him to be as honest as possible about it.
Reportedly, Money first found out he had cancer last fall when he was in the middle of filming a season for his AXS TV reality series. The last remaining episodes of the series, six in total, will revolve around his dancer diagnosis as well as how his family is dealing with it.
