Cellist Faces New Battle After Beating Injury
16 Apr
Summary
- Cellist Julian Lloyd Webber announced prostate cancer treatment.
- He returned to concert stage after 12 years due to injury.
- Webber aims for full recovery and won't cancel engagements.
Acclaimed cellist Julian Lloyd Webber has announced he is to undergo treatment for prostate cancer. The news follows his return to performing earlier this week, where he celebrated his 75th birthday with a concert after a 12-year absence.
Lloyd Webber had previously overcome a severe injury caused by a herniated disc, which had led him to sell his valuable Stradivarius cello. He recently detailed his arduous journey back to playing, which involved gradually increasing practice time over weeks and months.
He expressed confidence in his medical team and anticipates a full recovery. The cellist stated he does not plan to cancel any upcoming engagements and will refrain from further comment until after his treatment concludes.
