The actor informed his fans in an Instagram post on Monday (2). Bruce Campbell is known for starring in the classic “Evil Dead” film trilogy, as well as the series “Ash vs Evil Dead”.

“I’m posting this because, professionally, some things will have to change: appearances, conventions and work in general will need to take a back seat to treatment,” wrote Bruce Campbell.

The actor said he would have to cancel several appearances at conventions during the summer. “The needs of treatment and professional obligations don’t always go hand in hand,” he explained.

Bruce Campbell did not give further details about the diagnosis of the disease, only saying that it was an “incurable” cancer.

“That’s basically it. I’m not trying to seek sympathy — or advice — I just want to get ahead of this information in case false reports start to appear (which will happen).”

The “Evil Dead” star hopes to be well enough to promote his new comedy film “Ernie & Emma,” written, directed and starring himself. The film premieres in the fall of 2026.

Campbell’s fans wished the actor well regarding his health. “You’ve got this, Bruce, we’re with you. To hell with cancer,” wrote one of them. “Cancer doesn’t stand a chance. We love you, Bruce.”
