Former President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he “won’t be able to do as much talking” about his upcoming presidential memoir due to his battle with prostate cancer.
“Some days are better than others. That hasn’t stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to have as many conversations about my book as I hoped. However, I hope the words on the page speak for themselves,” he wrote on social media.
Biden’s book, titled “Promise Me, America,” is scheduled to be released on November 17.
“I hope you read it,” he wrote on social media. “It covers my years as president. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made and why I made them. It’s about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America’s role in the world.”
Biden, who turns 84 on November 20, is the oldest living former president. The former president revealed his cancer diagnosis in May 2025, less than four months after leaving the White House.
His office said in a statement at the time that he appeared to have a “more aggressive” form of cancer but that it “appears to be sensitive to hormones, which allows for effective management.”
The former president’s son, Hunter Biden, told the BBC in August that his father’s cancer had “metastasized into his bones and beyond.”
“It’s really sad to watch,” Hunter Biden said. “The only thing I would say about my father, about his current health, is that I wish he would complain more, because it’s not good.”
