Jo Dee Messina Announces Cancer Diagnosis

Jo Dee Messina has been diagnosed with cancer, she announced on Wednesday.

She plans to begin cancer treatment this fall, forcing her to cancel her concerts after October 7th, according to her website. The post on her website suggests that four upcoming dates including her next show, scheduled for September, 12th at the Washington County Fair in Abingdon, Virginia will go on as planned.

Though Messina, 47, does not yet have a specific treatment plan, she is “working closely with a team to explore all options.”  

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jo Dee and her entire family.
