TORONTO — Stuart McLean has called off his annual Vinyl Cafe Christmas Tour to begin treatment for melanoma.
McLean has toured with the CBC radio show since 1998, according to the show’s website.
McLean made the announcement about his cancer Saturday on his Facebook page and on the radio show’s website:
This is not quite as ominous as it sounds (or not as ominous as it sounded to me). Melanoma, which was once a deadly diagnosis, has, over the last couple of years, become eminently treatable.
McLean has published numerous books of short stories based on the radio program, and is an officer of the Order of Canada.
He said he will begin cancer therapy next week.
McLean was scheduled to perform three shows at the National Arts Centre in December, as has become tradition, at 7 p.m. Dec. 19 and 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 20.
The National Arts Centre wrote on its website that those who purchased tickets to the shows will receive a full refund, beginning Nov. 24 at the point of purchase.
McLean says his doctor expects the treatment to be successful.
“It feels like I invited everyone to dinner and am calling to say the party’s off. I don’t know what to say except, I am sorry,” he wrote.
