Sammy Davis Jr. remains under medical care at his home as he battles throat cancer, but he’s doing fine, his publicist said Wednesday.
However, the 64-year-old entertainer will not attend a ceremony on Sunday saluting his 60 years as a song-and-dance man, said Susan Reynolds. Davis was to be honored with the Professional Society Gypsy Award.
“I’m sure if he were able to be there, he would,” Reynolds said.
Davis was recently hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a recurrence of throat cancer that was diagnosed in September, 1989.
