"James Brown Is Dead"....err...he has cancer.

Sorry. Had that techno song in my head as I was typing this for some reason. Hope his operation goes smoothly.

James Brown Diagnosed With Cancer

NEW YORK (Dec. 10) - James Brown, the ''Godfather of Soul'' and a legend in rap, rock and funk, has announced that he has prostate cancer.

In a statement released to The Associated Press on Friday morning, Brown, 71, said that he will undergo surgery for the ailment on Dec. 15.

''I have overcome a lot of things in my life. I will overcome this as well,'' Brown said.

Brown, best known for seminal hits like ''I Feel Good,'' ''Please, Please, Please,'' and ''Cold Sweat,'' is also a diabetic. Dubbed the hardest working man in show business, he just finished a two-week Canadian tour on Thursday night. He is expected to spend three weeks recovering from the procedure.

Earlier this year, he faced other troubles when he was charged with domestic abuse after an altercation with his wife. The allegation was resolved when he failed to contest the charge.

Brown is due to release an autobiography next month. Besides promoting the project with a slew of appearances, he still plans a tour of Asia and Australia early next year.

Here's hoping JB comes through okay. The man has had one helluva career regardless of his personal life.

That has to be one of my favorite techno songs. Good cover art too.

Total chaos, man it’s resurrected
I’m confused that things are gettin’ hectic
In my brain, what is happenin’
Could this be a big misunderstanding
It is
The hardest working man in show biz is alive so yo, bust this
Don’t be mislead, cause the newsman said
James Brown is dead
