The Mavericks frontman Raul Malo is recovering from successful liver surgery, which required the band to cancel their appearance on the Sandy Beaches Cruise.

(Photo by Laura Roberts/Invision/AP) The Mavericks frontman Raul Malo has fought a courageous and public battle against cancer since last summer, and that continues albeit with a promising update this week.
Malo, 59, continued to perform, for the most part, as he underwent treatment, but the band pulled out of several shows late in the fall and he explained that was because he was preparing for a December operation on his liver.He returned to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that, because of that surgery, the band has had to pull out of the Sandy Beaches Cruise. That was the bad news, but considering the update that followed, it doesn’t sound like very bad news at all. “I wanted to catch you up on my health as we go through this journey,” Malo said in a video accompanying the announcement. “Some of you know that I had liver surgery on December 10th. They successfully removed a tumor from the liver, and we are going into the fourth week of recovery, and they said 4-to-6 weeks recovery which would of course take me into the timing of the cruise and so we just want to give you fair warning that we will not be on the cruise and we are really sorry about that. We love starting off the year with the cruise and some place warm and tropical and believe we could all use that. Country music stars who died in 2024 “I’m feeling strong,” he continued. “And even though I’m in a little bit of discomfort, like it’s really hard to hold a guitar up to my body, and I don’t know if I can sing because there’s one thing where you can recover, but you also have to be in performing shape, and I’m nowhere near that, at least not a performance worth writing about or talking about.” Malo again apologized for missing the cruise, and encouraged fans to still go and enjoy the event with the great artists who will perform there. He also said the band intends to take part in the cruise next year. So, while it’s a bummer that The Mavericks won’t be performing, it comes with what sounds like some really promising news for Malo. “In the last couple of years, we out here on the road, we have been on a health kick,” he said. “Treating ourselves a little better. Taking care out ourselves a little better, and really trying to do all the right things as far as nutrition, etc. So, part of the health journey is to get yourself checked out. Go to a doctor, take a physical and start there.”“And that led to another appointment with a gastrointestinal specialist, which led to a CAT scan,” he said. “And that proved to show two cancerous spots.”Legendary actress ‘almost got killed’ after fan mistook her for country music singerIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with ou
