Andrew Lloyd Webber diagnosed with cancer
Monday, 26 October 2009
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber has prostate cancer.
The composer - mastermind behind talent shows including 'Any Dream Will Do', 'I'd Do Anything', and 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?' - is believed to be in the "very early stages" of the disease.
Despite his potentially-fatal diagnosis, Andrew has vowed to beat the condition and wants to be back at work by the end of the year.
The 61-year-old star's spokesman said: "Andrew's condition is in its very early stages. He is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year."
A close friend added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "He has told us, 'The show will go on!' "
Andrew is set for a very busy year in 2010, with a BBC TV series searching for cast members for a new production of 'The Wizard of Oz', and his new musical 'Love Never Dies', the sequel to his hit 'Phantom of the Opera'.
