A tumor has taken Cincinnati funk legend Bootsy Collins off his tour, according to the bass player's Facebook page.
On Tuesday, Collins posted: "Yep Funkateers! I found out last week that I had to get surgery to remove the tumor in my ear. But all things happen for a reason, no matter what it looks like to us."
He also announced that he asked Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone and Graham Central Station to fill in for him during his recovery.
Collins has not said how long he expects the surgery to take him off the road.
In his post, Collins quoted Monty Python's Holy Grail stating it's "just a flesh wound."
"Yep Funkateers! I found out last week that I had to get surgery to remove the tumour in my ear. But all things happen for a reason no matter what it looks like to us. The good news is that I am ready for Heads or Tails. The One prepared me this way. I am not concerned because I know that (THE ONE IS GOOD Y'ALL)! The Holy Grail said: "JUST A FLESH WOUND"! Love to all my Funkateers! Bootsy baby!!!"
