Asia’s John Wetton Undergoes Major Cancer Surgery

The news was posted on his website on Monday (May 25) saying:

JOHN WETTON STATEMENT – On May 16, John underwent surgery for the successful removal of a 1 kilo [2.2lb] malignant mass. John wishes to extend his thanks to Mr Chan and his team. John is also beyond grateful for the wonderful wishes and prayers received. John is recuperating. Messages can be sent via the management office to jw@qedg.co.uk

There was an indication that something was happening back on May 13 when Wetton revealed on his Twitter that he was doing something that would be putting him “out of action” for some days.

The next day, he revealed that he had a biopsy and was scheduled for “major” surgery three days later.

There have been no details of the location of the tumor other than Wetton saying earlier today that the 2.2 pound mass was in his abdomen.
