Aussie Country Singer To Undergo Cancer Surgery This Week

Australian Country artist Catherine Britt has sadly been diagnosed with breast cancer. 

The 30-year-old singer took to her Facebook page on Tuesday night to share the unfortunate news. 

"I am very sorry to inform you all that 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer," Britt wrote. 

"I have continued since my diagnosis to get on with my life and career as best I can and have scheduled my treatment around all future tour dates and commitments so I will still see you all out on the road!I encourage all women of all ages to remember to check yourself and seek medical advice if there’s any changes at all in your breasts as cancer doesn’t discriminate."

"Thank you for all of the love and prayers and kind words so far, your support is all I need to get through this scary time.”

The remaining dates for Britt's Boneshaker tour will still go ahead as planned, including her future tour and album commitments. 

Britt will begin treatment today in Newcastle supported by her family and and fiance, James.
