Damon Harris, ex Philly singer (Young Vandals, Unifics, Impact & solo artist) PLUS ex Temptation is close to death. He has been fighting prostrate cancer for some time
The ex Temptation great is reminded daily that he is in the fight of his life and it is a battle that gets more challenging as each second ticks off the clock. Harris is open about his illness, which he was diagnosed with in 1999, and blunt about his prospects.
"I'm here by the grace of God only," he said. "My worse fears are dying as a broke and alone musician."
It wasn't as though Harris mismanaged his earnings with The Temptations. Prostate cancer, like any other cancer, is expensive to fight.
The Baltimore native said he goes month-to-month often not knowing how he will meet his bills. Rent on his condo near Baltimore is paid, "whenever I can make the payment," he said. "I live a very simple life, but I'm sick and there isn't much I can do. I've been offered gigs, some I haven't been able to do because, since October, I haven't been able to walk much," he said.
"I'm still here," he said. "Cancer has been trying to shut my system down and the doctors here have been trying to put it off as best they can."
