Dawn Sears Cancer Diagnosis: Time Jumpers' Member Undergoing Treatment

Dawn Sears Cancer DiagnosisJim McGuire

Dawn Sears, a member of the Grammy-nominated band the Time Jumpers, has been diagnosed with Stage 3B lung cancer. Sears, who is also a longtime member of Vince Gill's touring band, and an in-demand background vocalist is currently undergoing treatment in Nashville.

According to a statement, Sears plans to continue performing at the Time Jumpers' regular Monday night shows at Nashville's 3rd and Lindsley until her treatment dictates otherwise. Dawn's husband and band mate Kenny Sears has asked for the family's privacy to be considered as they move through this very difficult period.

A native of Minnesota, Dawn Sears released her first solo album, What a Woman Wants to Hear, in 1990 on Warner Bros. She followed it with Nothin' but Good, released on the Decca label in 1994 and a self-titled collection in 2002. In addition to the numerous recordings on which she sings with Vince Gill, Dawn has provided harmony vocals on recordings by Tracy Byrd, Ronnie Milsap, Jim Lauderdale, Patty Loveless and Merle Haggard, among others.

Dawn and Kenny Sears first met in Las Vegas in 1986 and were married six months after they met. They moved to Nashville the following year. The couple are the parents of a daughter, Tess.

It didn't say she was a smoker, but probably. When will people ever learn ? Why does anyone start and get hooked on one of the most addictive drugs - nicotine ? It used to be “cool” and all the stars did it and it seemed like everyone else did too, but now you have to have a death wish to start.

"It didn't say she was a smoker, but probably"??????????? I've personally known 4 different people who had lung cancer.......and it was from the air they had to breathe at work, for almost 30 years. I take it you're young....and not too smart, by reading your post.

Smoking cigarettes is the SECOND most danderous activity for nuclear radiation entering your body. By one study, smoking 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes a day for a year puts as much radiation in your body as 217 dental x-rays. I hope all who read this will google it, as there is information on quite a few sites. I had never heard this until about one month ago. The only thing worse, radiation wise, is working in a nuclear processing plant. Now do you understand why smoking kills and should be regulated by the NRA like ALL other sources of nuclear radiation?

I don't want to seem cruel, but shouldn't you be writing about people we've actually heard of?
