Beloved comedian Milton Jones has announced he is battling prostate cancer, prompting the postponement of several upcoming tour dates as he prepares for surgery. The 60-year-old, known for his quick wit and deadpan delivery on shows like Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo, assured fans that the cancer is treatable and promised to return once he has recovered.
In a heartfelt statement, Milton expressed his regret over cancelling parts of his Ha!Milton live tour, affecting shows in cities including Leeds, Coventry, Basingstoke, and Portsmouth. While some summer dates will be rescheduled for autumn, the remaining autumn shows are expected to proceed as planned.
“I’m so sorry to announce the cancellation of several dates from my ongoing tour,” he said. “This decision comes following a recent diagnosis of treatable prostate cancer. I’ll be undergoing surgery soon and will need time afterwards to fully recover. Thank you for your support and understanding during this time. Trust me, abnormal service will resume as soon as possible — though probably not on a bike!”
Milton’s trademark humor shone through even during this difficult announcement, reassuring fans that he is optimistic about the future. Fans flooded his social media with messages of love and support, urging him to take all the time he needs to heal.
With a career that skyrocketed thanks to his appearances on national TV and a sold-out 70-date tour ahead of him, Milton’s resilience and spirit continue to inspire. His fans eagerly await the day he’s back on stage — bringing laughter once again to audiences across the UK.
