Bobby Womack, 68-year-old singer songwriter, has officially been declared cancer free as of last Monday, May 24.

Back in March, Womack’s health situation was made public by good friend, Bootsy Collins. After being hospitalized for pneumonia, doctor’s believed that Womack was suffering from colon cancer. Finally undergoing surgery, a tumor was removed declaring Womack cancer free.

This talented American musician did not let this incident prevent him from working. Come July 12, a new album will be released entitled The Bravest Man In the Universe. Damon Albarn from Blur and the Gorillaz both collaborated and co-produced this disc along with Richard Russell, XL label boss.
