Motown legend Stevie Wonder revealed he will be undergoing a kidney transplant soon. He made the announcement during a show at London’s BST Festival in Hyde Park on Saturday (July 6).
“I’m all good, I’m all good, all good, I have a donor and it’s all good,” he said. “I want you to know, I came here to give you my love and thank you for your love. You ain’t got to hear no rumors. I told you what’s up. I am good. I love you and God bless you.”
The 69-year-old Wonder plans on completing three more performances and then taking some time off from touring to tend to his health. The surgery is scheduled to take place in September, according to Metro UK.
Rumors starting swirling about the musical icon’s health last month after Philly radio personality Patti Jackson said Wonder was on dialysis after suffering kidney failure. Then, Grammy Award-nominated singer Melba Moore asked her Instagram followers for prayers, seemingly confirming the news.
“Keeping Stevie Wonder Lifted,” she wrote. “Every little thing gonna be alright. Keep positive energy flowing only man does not have the last say. We love you Stevie always & Forever. Love from The Real Melba Moore.”
Wonder has won 25 Grammy Awards during the course of his nearly 60-year career. He was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.

Praying for you Stevie
Stop lying. You’re not praying for this dude lol.
Even for saying he’s praying, that’s positive. You can’t force your ignorance on people. You posted same on the Singleton article before he died too. Are you a fool?
Once Stevie…sees how much this operation will change his life, it will be a real…eye opener.
Oh yeah, Stevie Wonder is an old school legend. I remember him pushing rhymes with Ice-T on against the Bush regime. I loved him in the “Fuck My Hoes” video with Too Short, And however his beef with Twista wasn’t so fair – as Stevie claimed he saw Twista’s gun in that hilarious song – he’s still a great mc, a lyrical talent. Very hip. Nice hop.
Hope stevie pulls through and has a full recovery. He is definitely the last of his kind… a true living legend. Music would not be the same without him.
