Sharon Jones has been given an all-clear by doctors and will return to touring duty in Australia after being diagnosed and treated for cancer last year.
Jones was just about to release the ‘Give The People What They Want’ album when she was given the news. All touring plans and the release of the album were immediately put on hold.
She is now well enough to work again and share her new music with her fans.
“My fans are what kept me fighting, and kept me focused on getting better”, Jones says. “Everything I love can be summed up by the moment I get on stage, and start giving the people what they want. That’s real love. That’s real music.”
The ‘Give The People Want They Want’ album was released this year and now tour dates have been set for September.
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings will tour Australia for Billions Australia.
