Jo Dee Messina, the ever-upbeat, blue-collar country music superstar who dominated the charts in the '90s with the double-platinum album I'm Alright, says she's been diagnosed with cancer but will follow through on scheduled tour dates through next month before taking a hiatus.
The 47-year-old Messina did not disclose the type of cancer in a post on her official site on Wednesday.
"We don't know anything specific regarding the treatment plan at this point, but Jo Dee is working closely with a team to explore all options," the statement read.
