Oak Ridge Boys member Richard Sterban shocked fans last week when he announced that he is battling pancreatic cancer.

Sterban has been a member of the legendary group for 53 years.

“In March of this year, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,” Sterban said in an announcement. “But I am under the care of the best cancer doctors in the country and, with the help of the Good Lord above, I believe I will be able to get through this.”

“I want to thank everyone, especially the fans, for your concern, and I would appreciate your continued prayers,” he added. “Most days I’m feeling very good, and I hope to be back out on the road in several months.”

Sterban’s announcement comes after the band suffered through a tragedy-filled 2024.

Singer Joe Bonsall died last July at 76.
