Montell Jordan Rings The Bell After Defeating Cancer For The Second Time

Montell Jordan is officially walking into the New Year as a two-time champion.

The R&B legend took to Instagram this weekend to drop the ultimate holiday testimony, confirming that he is 100% cancer-free.

This major win comes after a high-stakes battle with a recurrence that spread to his lymph nodes earlier this year. In a raw and powerful caption, Montell shared the full update with his followers: “Official Medical Update: 1 am cancer free!!! 1 am now a 2x cancer survivor. This is been a 2 year journey that we have lived and simultaneously documented for a film called SUSTAIN. @sustainthemovie is where you can see updates. Sustainthemovie.com is where you can support our efforts to help us complete this film. It will be one of the greatest contributions I have made to humanity. Check out this live and share it. Like it. Love it. Repost it. Give someone else hope.”

The 57-year-old artist revealed the good news was delivered right on Christmas Day, marking the end of a “seven-and-a-half-week interruption of life.”

To get to this finish line, Montell had to push through 37 grueling rounds of proton therapy and hormone treatments. “I’m on a journey that I gotta be faster than cancer. I gotta run ahead of it,” he previously shared.

Now that he’s officially “run ahead” of the disease, he’s ready to share the full story in his upcoming biographical film, SUSTAIN, which is slated to premiere in 2026.

This victory is the culmination of a heavy two-year journey that began with an initial diagnosis in early 2024. Although the “This Is How We Do It” singer underwent a radical prostatectomy last year and initially thought he was in the clear, follow-up scans in September 2025 showed the cancer had returned.

Instead of staying silent, the singer-turned-pastor leaned into his faith and his role as a Global Ambassador for ZERO Prostate Cancer to show other men that a diagnosis isn’t the end of the road.

Looking ahead to 2026, Montell is turning his survival into a movement. Not only will he be starring in SUSTAIN, but he is also hitting the road for a massive 30-city “This Is How We Cure It” tour.

The tour will celebrate 30 years of his legendary career while providing on-site health screenings to help save lives in the community.
