The former president Joe Biden announced that he will not be able to sustain as many promotional conversations about his presidential memoir “Promise Me, America,” which will be released on November 17, due to his battle with prostate cancer.
“Some days are better than others. This hasn’t stopped me, but at times it slows me down. What that means is that, unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in as many conversations about my book as I had hoped. Nevertheless, I trust that the words laid out in its pages will speak for themselves,” he wrote on his social media.
In May 2025, Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer at stage 4 (with a Gleason score of 9 out of 10) that had metastasized to the bones. Since then he has made public appearances while undergoing treatment, but a promotional tour for his book is not something he can undertake in his condition.
