TNT Singer Tony Harnell Announces Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

On Thanksgiving day, Tony Harnell posted the following on his Facebook page:

Extra gratitude on this Thanksgiving.

On August 1st I had successful laparoscopic surgery for aggressive prostate cancer. 5 days later I was rushed to the ER with sepsis and spent another 3 days in the hospital till they stabilized me. What a ride! Not sure how close I got to the exit door, but I’m deeply grateful to all of those who took fast action that day to save my life. I’m feeling better each day. Long recovery from this one. I couldn’t have gotten through it without close friends, amazing doctors and my sweet Kristi. This is why I had to cancel some shows in August and decided to take the rest of 2024 to heal my body, mind and spirit. It took a lot out of me and still building myself back up. Thanks so much to all of you who’ve reached out and checked on me. This Thanksgiving is truly about giving thanks!

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving filled with love, peace and light. See you on the road in ‘25! T

P.S. GUYS, stay on top of your PSA tests every year!!
