Rosanne Cash to have brain surgery

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Country music singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash will undergo brain surgery for a "rare but benign condition" at a New York hospital, she said on her Web site on Monday.

The 52-year-old Grammy-winning musician, the eldest of Johnny Cash's five children, said she expected to recover fully from the unspecified ailment, and will resume touring next spring after she records a new album.

The condition forced her to cancel four November concert dates to promote her album "Black Cadillac," a collection inspired in part by her father's death four years ago.

Cash, who lives in New York City, emerged from her father's giant shadow to carve out a career spanning almost 30 years. She topped the country singles charts 11 times, and won a Grammy in 1985.
