Stevie Wonder has revealed he will take a break from music to undergo a kidney transplant later this year.
The 69-year-old legendary US singer-songwriter told a crowd in London on Saturday that he had a kidney donor lined up and that the procedure is planned for September.
“I’m going to have surgery,” Wonder said as he wrapped up a set at a music festival in Hyde Park.
I’m going to have a kidney transplant in September of this year.
“I have a donor, it’s all good,” he added.
The 69-year-old multi Grammy Award-winner added that he will perform a few more shows before taking a break ahead of the operation.
“I want you to know, I came here to give you my love and thank you for your love,” Wonder told the crowd to cheers.
