Singer Sharon Jones Says She Has Cancer

LOS ANGELES — Soul group Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings on Monday postponed the release of its forthcoming album and tour after Jones was diagnosed with early-stage bile duct cancer, according to a statement on the band’s website.

The singer, 57, is to undergo surgery, and is expected to make a full recovery but will require a “lengthy” rehabilitation period, the statement said.
