Veteran soul singer Bobby Womack has been diagnosed with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease after forgetting song lyrics and the names of collaborators, he told the BBC. It’s the latest health complication for the singer, who last year was hospitalized with pneumonia and had surgery for colon cancer. Womack, 68, opened up about his memory lapses to Giles Peterson on BBC 6 Music. “The doctor said, ‘You have signs of Alzheimer’s,'” Womack said. “He said it’s not bad yet, but it’s going to get worse.”
