Beyoncé’s Father Reveals He Has Breast Cancer

Beyonce’s father Mathew Knowles has revealed he has breast cancer.

The 67-year-old made the revelation during an interview with Michael Strahan, which is set to air on Good Morning America on Wednesday.

Breast cancer in men is rare: more than 99 percent of all breast cancer cases diagnosed are in women. The odds that a man gets breast cancer are 1,000 to one.

Mathew revealed his diagnosis on the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness month, which runs through October.

In a teaser for the interview, Strahan ask Beyoncé and Solange’s father about how he broke the news to his daughters.

‘How was it to tell your family about the diagnosis?’ Strahan asks.

Mathew is a record executive and talent manager who oversaw Destiny’s Child’s stratospheric rise.

He quit his day job in 1995 as a medical equipment salesman to actively pursue his daughter’s career in the spotlight.
