Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

But this theater legend has already shown his resilience. In a statement released by publicists on Sunday,

“Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year.”

It is a particularly busy time for Webber, who recently announced a sequel to his highly acclaimed musical, Phantom of the Opera, entitled Love Never Dies. The production already has a scheduled premiere in London this coming March, with Broadway scheduled for November.

From all of us at The Sound Post, here’s to a quick recovery for a great icon in musical history.
