In September 2024, she shared she was getting her 16th melanoma removed.
“I don’t know why, it always makes me so emotional,” she revealed at the time. “It hurts.”
Due to her being unable to have general anesthesia, she explained she was having the melanoma taken out without it. “I’m trying to keep you guys all in the mix and in the know,” she said.
She also showed a picture of how she discovered she had skin cancer, showcasing “pink spots” that “turned light brown” on her shoulder. The daughter of John Mellencamp shared this was “stage two” cancer.
Health issues aside, Mellencamp is also going through a divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave.
