Unfortunately, we have sad news about singer Percy Sledge.
According to a report, Sledge has pulled out of a U.K. tour after he was reportedly diagnosed with liver cancer.
73-year-old Sledge, whose classic 1966 hit “When a Man Loves a Woman,” was due to perform as part of producer David Gest’s Legends of Soul tour, but was hospitalized before a concert in Stockport, England.
According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, Gest told the audience:
“Percy won’t be with us tonight, I’m afraid. He’s in hospital with liver cancer. I know we are all going to pray for him.”
