Veteran country hitmaker John Berry is battling cancer. “We started off this year with a hiccup and we want to tell you a little bit about that,” Berry reveals in a video he and his wife Robin are sharing on his Facebook page this morning.

In November, before his most recent tour launched, Berry says he started feeling like there was a “catch” in his throat that felt like the “skin of a Spanish peanut” was stuck. He looked and saw his tonsils were swollen. He went to doctor and was put on antibiotics and steroids for a tonsil infection, but the problem persisted. He was able to do the entire tour and sounded fine, but didn’t feel well. A CT scan revealed two tumors in his tonsils. Following surgery to remove both tonsils and part of his soft palate, Berry got the biopsy results and was told he had tonsil cancer.

Robin encourages fans to reach out. “There is nothing greater that John needs right now than to hear from you guys that love him so very much,” she says, sharing how to reach Berry at JohnBerryMusic413@gmail.com and by mail at P.O. Box 353, Gallatin, TN 37066.
