Singer B.J. Thomas, a class act who appeared on the charts throughout the 1970s, has announced he has stage four lung cancer.  According to the Oldies Board, he confirmed the diagnosis on his Facebook page. In his post, the artist claims he hopes for a complete recovery, but you don't have to be an oncologist to know that stage four is rarely something that sees you get better, especially at age 78.

He had a lot of great hits - his biggest was "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" from the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - and Billboard says he notched 26 of them on the Hot 100 from 1966 through 1983. Another part of the soundtrack of many of our lives and a staple on oldies radio. And more sad news in a year that's already had way too much of it.
