The Mavericks have cancelled the remaining dates on their 2025 tour after frontman Raul Malo shared the news that his cancer battle has "taken a turn". Malo shared a video on social media showing him seated and playing guitar. "As it goes with cancer, it's a very unpredictable and indiscriminatory disease," the singer shared in the caption. "I've developed something called LMD, which stands for 'get this s**t out of my head'. "Treatment for this is radiation, which I will start tomorrow. We will probably jump into some chemo, and are even looking at alternative therapies. But it's time to take your words to heart of resting and recovering, so that's what I'm going to do." There is no known cure for LMD (leptomeningeal disease). Malo is urging fans to hold on to the tickets they have for the Mavericks shows in Nashville on 5 and 6 December. He says the band is "planning something special there, and hope to announce that very soon". Malo was first diagnosed with cancer in June 2024. He underwent surgery to remove a tumour on his liver, followed by surgery on his colon. The singer assured his fans, "I am in no way alone, or scared. "I have an amazing wife and boys, wonderful family, team, road crew, band, friends and fans. I don't even have enough words to describe the love and support that I'm getting right now."
