Jonas Brothers musician Kevin Jonas has shared an important message to fans. It comes as the singer underwent surgery to remove a cancerous mole. The band member shared an update on his health earlier this week, explaining that he was getting a basal cell carcinoma removed from his head.
In a post uploaded to his Instagram page, the singer gave fans a warning to check their moles. The singer captioned the post: “Friendly reminder to get your moles checked.” The post featured a video of Kevin lying down, as he added: “So today I am getting a basal-cell carcinoma removed from my head.
"Yes, that is an actual little skin cancer guy that has started to grow. And now I have to get surgery to remove it.” Kevin moved the camera toward his hairline, where a small blemish could be seen.
He then shared a brief clip of him removing the bandage, but concealing the result of his surgery. Another clip showed the singer sat in his car wearing a small plaster over the removed mole. “Alright, I’m all done,” he said to the camera.
“Now it’s time to heal, heading home. Make sure to get those moles checked people," he ended the video saying. A number of fans praised the singer for being open and honest about his health.
One viewer commented: “Thank you for being real and honest about your situation. "Skin cancer is always looked at from a ‘cut it off and done’ kinda cancer. You sharing opens doors for others to realize how important it is to check your skin! Hope surgery .
