UPDATE: Moon River Theatre Disputes Report on Health of Andy Williams

By: Monte Schisler, News Director
Posted: Monday, July 16, 2012

The Moon River Theatre in Branson is disputing a report in a London newspaper that says entertainer Andy Williams is about to die, after doctors told him there is nothing more they could do.

The 84 year old singer announced last fall he had bladder cancer and was taking a break from the stage, vowing to return this fall following treatment.

A theatre spokesman told Springfield television KY3 that the tabloid reports are outdated, and Andy has been home quite a while and is doing well.

The spokesman wouldn’t comment on Williams’ current condition, emphasizing to the television station he is not the family’s spokesman.

Williams is scheduled to return to the theatre in September, celebrating his 75th anniversary in show business.

The theatre has not returned a call for comment to HometownDailyNews.com.

Had the opportunity to meet Andy in his hotel when he visited Birmingham (UK) in 2009, a chance to meet my hero, a great man. All my prays are with you and your family at this time and hope that Gods healing hand will speed your recovery.
