Williams broke the bad news while performing at the Moon River Theater in Branson, MO. The concert was a Christmas celebration.

But he’s optimistic that he’ll get through it.

"I do have cancer of the bladder,” he said. "But that is no longer a death sentence. People with cancer are getting through this thing. They’re kicking it, and they're winning more and more every year. And I'm going to be one of them."
