Bruce Campbell reveals 'treatable but not curable' cancer diagnosis

Bruce Campbell, the actor behind Ash in Evil Dead and the tutorial narrator in the Spider-Man 2 videogame, revealed yesterday that he has been diagnosed with cancer.

In a post on X he said he has 'a type of cancer that's 'treatable' not 'curable'. I apologize if that's a shock—it was to me, too.' He added that several appearances would be cancelled as 'appearances and cons and work in general need to take [a] back seat to treatment.'

Campbell said he was not seeking sympathy or advice, and wanted to 'get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while.'

His work on Evil Dead and other projects has made him an iconic figure. His latest movie, Ernie and Emma—about a salesman on a journey to scatter his wife's ashes—premiered last month and is due for a wider release later this year.
