Stevie Wonder Discloses Upcoming Kidney Transplant

Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder will have a kidney transplant later this year, according to the BBC.

The singer told the crowd about his medical condition as he finished his set at British Summer Time Hyde Park.

He said he had found a donor and would perform three more shows before the operation in September, saying: "I'm all good, I'm all good."

Fans greeted the news with a loud, supportive cheer, applauding the 69-year-old singer as he left the stage.

He had just finished playing the song Superstition when he told the crowd he wanted to prevent "rumours" spreading about his health.

"I want you to know, I came here to give you my love and thank you for your love. I love you and God bless you."

The NHS says the most common reason for needing a transplant is kidney failure or end-stage chronic kidney disease.

It is possible to donate a kidney while still alive as people only need one kidney to survive.
