Ronnie Platt is assuring fans his cancer diagnosis is just a “bump in the road.”

The Kansas lead singer, 62, shared on Facebook Saturday that he has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but he told followers there is no reason to worry.

“Before everyone gets all excited, it has a 99% survival rate, it has not spread,” Platt wrote. “It’s contained to my thyroid. I just have to have my thyroid removed. Go through some rehab time and be right back in the saddle.”

He continued, “I have some absolutely amazing people going to bat for me!! as it has been put to me, this is just a bump in the road and will be behind me very soon! so everyone please CARRY ON!”

The announcement came after the group last week rescheduled a pair of shows “due to band illness and doctor advisement.” A concert that was set for Feb. 14 in Catoosa, Oklahoma, was moved to Nov. 21, while a Feb. 15 show in Durant, Oklahoma, was postponed to Nov. 22.

“The band apologizes for the inconvenience and hopes to be back on the road soon,” the announcement on Kansas’ Instagram page read.

After Platt shared news of his diagnosis, the rock band said Tuesday that it would also cancel its March 1 show in Lake Charles, Louisiana, again citing an illness in the group. A show scheduled for Feb. 21 in New Orleans has also been canceled.

“Our goal is to be back on the road as soon as possible,” assistant band manager J.R. Rees told Ultimate Classic Rock. “Right now, we’re all focused on supporting Ronnie through this.”

According to Mayo Clinic, thyroid cancer occurs when “cells in the thyroid develop changes in their DNA,” and there are multiple types depending on what kinds of cells are found in the tumor. Most types of thyroid cancers are “highly curable,” and treatment can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy and radioiodine therapy, per Cleveland Clinic.

Platt has served as lead singer for Kansas since 2014 after the retirement of Steve Walsh. He previously fronted the group Shooting Star.
