Country singer and songwriter John King, a proud native of Habersham County, is asking for prayers and support as he begins his first round of treatment for lymphoma.
In an emotional message to fans, King revealed that he was diagnosed with lymphoma three years ago, a condition he had kept private until now. He said he chose not to share the diagnosis at the time because he felt healthy and experienced no symptoms.
However, during a recent scan, doctors discovered that the disease had progressed. After reviewing the results, his medical team recommended that he begin treatment immediately.
“Tomorrow I go in and start my first round of treatment,” King said. “This treatment is supposed to be really good and has a strong chance of knocking this thing into full remission.”
King, known for his deep faith and uplifting songwriting, expressed confidence and hope as he looks ahead.
“I’m praying for God’s healing. I know God’s a healer, and I know it’s going to happen in my life,” he shared.

The Habersham County artist also took time to thank fans, friends, and family—many of whom have followed his career for more than two decades.
With his final show of the year now behind him, King said the timing allows him space to rest, recover, and focus on his health. He assured supporters that he intends to return to the stage once he’s well again.
“I just finished up my last show of the year, so I’ve got some time to recover.
I’ll be back out there next year. Love you guys,” he said.
King’s heartfelt message has already sparked an outpouring of love from across Habersham County and beyond. Supporters are lifting him up in prayer as he begins this next chapter in his health journey.
