In Mar. 2026, the entertainment world learned of unfortunate news, as Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer ahead of his 68th birthday. Posting to Instagram, he did not specify what kind of cancer he has, noting that it is “‘treatable’ not ‘curable’ in a lengthy caption. While this meant scaling back on public appearances at conventions and other events, he hoped to get healthy enough over the summer to tour with his new movie, Ernie & Emma, which premiered in Medford, Oregon, in Feb. 2026 and will have a wider release later this year. Unfortunately, Campbell’s latest update on the matter did not improve the matter.
