Too young. He's only 67. I'm 60, I guess I should get used to seeing entertainers I like drop off more frequently, until it's my turn.

Take care, Bruce. You brought a smile to my face many times.

My dad just died at 68 from incurable cancer. It sucks.

That's horrible, my condolences

Bruce, so many good things he's done, like Brisco County, Jr & Jack of All Trades (and the evil dead stuff of course).

Beat wishes bro!

He was the best part of Burn Notice.

Amen! I thoroughly enjoyed both shows. I wish they were available for streaming somewhere! Both shows helped me get through a hospital recovery and relearning English. Stay strong Bruce!

Well, shit, that's not very goovy. Particularly when the deadites seem to be taking over the world nowadays. We still need you, Bruce.

This man, is one the good ones, speaking from personal experience. Wishing his family the best.

Not groovy.

Oh no, that’s so sad. He said it’s “treatable” not “curable”😭

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

Which just means a deteriorating quality of life :(

Prostate cancer seems like it might fit the bill. Treatable, sometimes not curable, and people can die with it and not from it. Good luck, Bruce. Hope it goes well.

Maybe we shouldn't speculate about someone's illness like this.

It's actually weird he didn't just name it. Health issues aren't the best thing to keep secret. I mean I suppose some might be embarrassing, but cancers aren't something to hide or feel guilty about.

The more people know, the more that can do.

Him naming it woulda probably encouraged people to learn about it, and may have helped some identify that they had it to.

Not naming it left it open to speculation, so that's gonna happen, nothing wrong with it at all.
