Michael Sadler of Saga has recently shared heartfelt details regarding his cancer diagnosis. In a candid social media post, he opened up about the profound impact that this diagnosis has had on his life, particularly following the recent loss of his sister to cancer. He also expressed concern for his brother, who is currently battling the disease as well.

In his post, Sadler revealed, “As for me, I learned in April, just before boarding a cruise, that my cancer is incurable and untreatable.” He emphasized that despite being stable and in good spirits, this news has profoundly shifted his perspective on life. “This news has turned my life toward a more introspective and purposeful path,” he shared. As he navigates this challenging chapter, he finds himself reflecting on the time he has spent and what meaningful moments remain. He is learning to appreciate every fleeting moment and consider how best to spend the time left to him.

Sadler further elaborated that while he is “deeply aware of my responsibilities,” he remains committed to completing his planned musical projects and moving forward with determination. He expressed hope that he could continue to engage with his fans and share his journey, stating, “It is what it is.” He added, “I can only hope that you’ll continue to support my efforts and hope to see you all again at my various events — maybe we’ll say hi to each other and take selfies a few more times… Thank you all for your love and kindness during this bittersweet time.”
