"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.
