"The Evil Dead" star Bruce Campbell announced he's been diagnosed with cancer and will be canceling upcoming appearances. On Monday night, Campbell took to X to share that he has a "treatable" but not "curable" type of cancer. "I apologize if that was a shock — it was for me too," he wrote. "I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change — appearances and cons and work in general need to take [a] back seat to treatment," Campbell continued.

(AA Film Archive) The horror star said he hopes to be well by the summer so he can tour with his comedy movie, "Ernie & Emma," this fall. "There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel," he continued. "Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand." Campbell kept the rest of his message short and sweet, explaining that he's "not trying to enlist sympathy — or advice." "I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-b---- and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!" Campbell concluded.

I hope for the best for him.

I could not get through, “The Evil Dead”. Now, “Bubba Ho-Tep” is one of my favorites, of course, mostly because of Bruce.

What kind of cancer; and, why don’t these types of stories never mention the cancer type?

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer almost 12 years ago. I’ve responded so well with low level androgen deprivation therapy, my oncologist at MD Anderson tells me I will very likely never die from prostate cancer.

Oh hell, that's sad. Bruce is the King.

"My Name is Bruce" just popped up on Netflix. Hilarious "B" movie.

Bruce Campbell was great in Burn Notice

I only was able to see a few episodes

Bruce, please go to an on-fire Christian Church
and ask them to lay hands on you

You have nothing to lose by doing so

God bless - prayers up 🙏🛐🙏✝️✝️✝️

James 5:14-16
King James Version

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the Elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord:

15 And the Prayer of Faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and Pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent Prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
