Bruce Campbell on his health
Taking to X and Instagram, Campbell shared that he wanted to speak about his situation himself. "Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an ‘opportunity,’ so let’s go with that – I’m having one of those. It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable’ not ‘curable.’ I apologize if that’s a shock – it was to me too," he said. "The good news is, I’m not gonna go into any more detail. I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change – appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie ‘Ernie & Emma’ this fall."
Revealing that several fan conventions scheduled for the summer have been cancelled, he said, "There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don’t always go hand-in-hand. That’s about it. I’m not trying enlist sympathy – or advice – I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will)," the actor added. "Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-b***h 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!"
