Ric Flair has been diagnosed with skin cancer, he told People.

Flair, 76, revealed in a story published Friday that he is facing skin cancer for the second time in three years and will begin treatment next week.

The WWE legend said he wanted to keep it private, but he felt ready to share the news.

“Appreciate the concerns!” he added.

Flair shared his diagnosis publicly after he denied reports that he had cancer last month on X.

Despite rumors spreading on social media, Flair clarified in a tweet on May 5 that he does not have any form of cancer and expressed gratitude for the concern shown by fans. He assured everyone that he is doing well and jokingly predicted that he will be around for another 25 years.

Flair has stayed busy so far this year.

In April, he was spotted at a pool party at the Palms Casino Resort during WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas.

The 16-time WWE champ has dealt with a number of serious medical issues.

In May 2019, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer was hospitalized for a medical emergency and underwent surgery, according to TMZ.

At the time, Flair said it was a “miracle again” that he was alive and that he had a “$1.8 million tune-up.”

Two years prior, Flair was hospitalized with stomach pains and placed in a medically induced coma for 12 days for a ruptured intestine.

Flair said he spent 31 days in the ICU and that he was given a 20 percent chance of living.

The Nature Boy thanked his ex, Wendy Barlow, for sticking by him during his health crisis in 2017 while sharing news of their breakup last September.

Reflecting on his relationship with Wendy, Flair shared on Instagram that they had enjoyed 13 wonderful years together, acknowledging the highs and lows that come with any partnership. He also announced that they have amicably decided to go their separate ways, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect in their parting.
