NASHVILLE (AP) – Jim Ed Brown has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Brown writes on his website he got his diagnosis two weeks ago and that’s why he’s canceled shows recently. Brown says he was shocked and scared when he heard the news. His doctors have told him to take off the next four months to concentrate on chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Brown first hit the scene in the 1950s as part of The Browns with his sisters. He then had a successful solo career through the 1960s and ’70s and was famous for duets with Helen Cornelius.
