After revealing that he was battling cancer via an Instagram post on Monday (June 17), Don Omar announced a day later that he is now “cancer-free.” The positive news comes just hours after the Puerto Rican artist alarmed his nearly 12 million followers on Instagram with the announcement that he was battling the disease. Prior to sharing his diagnosis on social media, the artist born William Omar Landrón Rivera posted a video of a group of dancers auditioning for the second leg of his Back to Reggatón Tour, set to kick off Aug. 7 in Oakland, Calif., and make pit stops in cities including San Diego; Portland, Ore.; Tampa, Fla.; and Ontario, Calif., before wrapping at the UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., on Sept. 15.
