MANSFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- Peter Tork, a former member of the 1960s pop group the Monkees, says he has a rare form of head and neck cancer, but the prognosis is good.
The 67-year-old Tork had surgery Wednesday in New York. His spokeswoman says he is doing well and will begin radiation treatment after a short recovery period.
He announced on his website Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with <span style="font-weight: bold">adenoid cystic carcinoma on the lower region of his tongue. He says it's an uncommon but slow-growing type of cancer,</span> and it hasn't spread beyond the initial site.
From 1966 to 1968, the Monkees had a popular TV show and three No. 1 hits, "Last Train To Clarksville," "I'm A Believer" and "Daydream Believer."
