Now, with the release of their latest album “Moon & Stars,” The Mavericks prove they are as captivating as ever. Always pushing boundaries and blending genres, Raul Malo continues to be a force to be reckoned with in music.
As Malo faces his cancer diagnosis with optimism and a strong plan in place, he serves as a reminder to all to prioritize their health. With proper treatment, this type of cancer is survivable, and Malo is ready to face this challenge head-on. His message of transparency and hope resonates with fans who have supported him through thick and thin.
