Andy Williams in CANCER BATTLE: Hollywood INSIDER LOOKS BACK AT FIRST MEETING
Good morning NewzBreaker readers and welcome to my new home. I enjoyed writing at Ringside Report, but had to duck and weave to get around those boxers and at my age, that can be tough. NB as those hipsters “Bad” Brad and Geno call it, is the right format for me to share my stories of days gone by in the entertainment world.
Last week crooner and all around nice guy Andy Williams announced he was battling Bladder Cancer which at 83 years old, is no easy feat. Years back, I had my own fight with Cancer and it was a tough uphill battle that gladly I can report, I beat. So I know exactly what Andy is going up against and wish him nothing, but a first round TKO a term I picked up over at RSR against that opponent – Cancer!
