“The Wonder Man” Stevie Wonder, will be taking a break from music.
The legendary singer-songwriter announced during a concert in London, England on last weekend that he will be undergoing kidney surgery.
Wonder said in a statement,
“So what’s gonna happen is this, I’m going to have surgery, I’m going to have a kidney transplant in September of this year. I’m all good, I’m all good, I’m all good. I have a donor, it’s all good. I want you to know I came here to give you my love and to thank you for your love. You ain’t gotta hear no rumors about nothing, I told you what’s up. I’m good. All right?”
The Detroit Free Press and CNN reported on last week that Wonder had been battling “a serious but manageable health issue” and has been touring overseas with a medical team.
Wonder learned to play piano, drums, and harmonica by age 9 and signed to Motown in 1961.
Since then, he has won 25 Grammy Awards, an honorary award, and has been nominated 74 times.
