Brain surgery for Rosanne Cash
Rosanne Cash is facing brain surgery for a rare but benign condition and must cancel the last four dates on her “Black Cadillac” tour.
The announcement was made Tuesday by Manhattan Records, the 52-year-old singer’s music label. Cash is expected to make a full recovery and resume recording and touring next spring.
“She does want everyone to know that it’s a benign condition, and it’s not life-threatening,” said her manager, Danny Kahn. “It’s nothing like a tumor or hemorrhage or anything. It’s elective surgery.”
Kahn said Cash has been diagnosed with chiari I malformation, which is a congenital malformation of the skull that affects the brain and spinal cord.
