Monty Python star Jones has cancer
Monty Python star Terry Jones has bowel cancer, although doctors believe they have caught it at an early stage, a newspaper has reported.
Jones, who directed the cult comedy troupe's three films, 'Life of Brian', 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' and 'The Meaning of Life', is in a private London hospital after being diagnosed, the Daily Mirror said Saturday.
His agent Jodi Shield told the newspaper: 'He is having a routine exploratory operation in the next few days.
'His surgeon is fairly confident -- they think they've got it early enough.
'He's in great spirits. We're having to make him stop working.'
