Nile Rodgers has shared an intimate blog post discussing recent health scares, including a hospitalization earlier this year. In the blog post, Rodgers reveals that the August hospitalization was due to an E.coli infection, which forced him to miss a Chic concert with Earth, Wind & Fire. He writes that, while at the hospital, doctors discovered a mysterious growth that turned out to be “two different cancers within one mass.” (He survived another cancer earlier this decade.) Rodgers is currently cancer-free, he’s revealed, after undergoing surgery to remove the mass.

“My prognosis is 100% recovery,” he writes. “You can start dancing, singing and cheering now!” Rodgers writes that the surgery forced him to postpone plans for this year, but notes, “What will happen next year is beyond any of my wildest dreams.” Read the full post here.
