Stevie Wonder says he needs a kidney transplant, and has already found a donor.
People seemed shocked at first, but then erupted in applause after realizing that he was taking care of his health and would presumably be all right. He told them he came out to share his love, and wanted to get ahead of the rumor mill by announcing it himself.
Prior to Saturday, word of Stevie's decreasing health was swirling ... as sources close to the singer told thethat he was battling a"serious but manageable" health issue, and was taking steps to address it. The sources even said he's been traveling with a medical team of late. A radio personality out of Philly claimed last month that he was suffering from kidney failure, and had already begun dialysis ... but that part hasn't been confirmed.
What is certain, though, is that Stevie is getting the transplant and has his spirits high. Here's to a speedy recovery, sir.
