Andy Williams Cancer War

Andy Williams announced that he has cancer to shocked fans, but the singer makes it clear that he’s not dying and doesn’t plan on letting cancer take him down. “I do have cancer of the bladder, but that is no longer a death sentence. People with cancer are getting through this thing,” said superstar Andy Williams, who is determined to be cancer-free. Williams, who will turn 84 on December 3rd, is undergoing chemotherapy and moving with his wife, Debbie, to Malibu for treatment by top cancer specialists in Los Angeles. Andy and Debbie Williams own a home in La Quinta, California, but the drive to and from L.A. is a strain during his personal war against cancer. Andy Williams hosted the ‘Andy Williams San Diego Open’ PGA Tour golf tournament at Torrey Pines for 21 years but, today, the avid golfer is devoting his time and energy to fighting cancer off the golf course. A beloved singer, songwriter, performer, actor, music producer, TV star and art collector for decades, Andy Williams has a fan base in 75 nations that is praying for the star and cheering him on during the fight of his life. Among those supporting Williams in his cancer battle are The Osmonds , who were first introduced to the world as a regular singing act on The Andy Williams Show in the 1960s. Encouraging the legendary singer onward is Yoko Ono , who remembers that the loudest voice of objection to President Nixon ‘s attempt to deport John Lennon in the 1970s was Andy Williams, a lifelong conservative Republican. Of the countless hits recorded by Andy Williams, which song should be featured here as a theme song for the legendary vocalist’s aggressive fight to live? “Moon River” or “Love Story” or “Can’t Get Used to Losing You” or “Days of Wine and Roses” ?
