Andrew Lloyd Webber Has Prostate Cancer

2009_10_alw.jpg A publicist for British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber announced that the 61-year-old was diagnosed with prostate cancer, noting "the condition is in its very early stages. Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year." Back at work probably means back at work on his new Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies, which is set in Coney Island, which he recently dissed by saying, "Of course, Coney Island today is nothing at all." Love Never Dies is expected to premiere on Broadway next November.
