WWE legend Ric Flair, 76, revealed that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer for the “second time in three years.” In an interview with People magazine, the professional wrestling Hall of Famer said he “will be undergoing treatment next week.” Flair appeared to come clean about the diagnosis after denying reports that he had cancer in an X post on Thursday. Now he is ready to share the news, telling People, “Appreciate the concerns!” Over his decades-long wrestling career, Flair’s body has taken innumerable hits that have caught up to him later in life. In 2017, he was hospitalized in the early stages of kidney failure and congestive heart failure, a result of years of alcohol abuse, he said. He was given a 20 percent chance of survival but managed to recover after being placed in a medically induced coma, had part of his bowel removed and fitted with a pacemaker. “I crashed in an airplane and broke my back, I’ve been hit by lightning,” Flair told People at the time. “But this is totally different. Anything I’ve been through before is nothing like this.”
