Charles Bradley Announces First Tour Since Cancer Diagnosis

Charles Bradley has announced a new tour. Bradley & His Extraordinaires will perform festival dates and select concerts throughout North America this summer, on his first tour since being diagnosed with stomach cancer last fall. He’s been given a doctor’s go-ahead to return to the stage, according to a press release. “I am so grateful to my beautiful fans and touched by all the love and support they showed me through my crisis and time of sickness,” Bradley said. “They truly lifted me up and kept me going. I am honored and glad to be back and am going to give you all of my love.” Check out the full list of dates below. Bradley’s last studio album Changes arrived in 2016.
