It\u2019s been four years since singer Causion was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. The veteran Antiguan artist has weathered the storm and is looking forward to releasing his sixth album in June.<\/p>\n
One of the songs from that project is the patriotic \u2018Antigua me Come From\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, which he co-wrote and co-produced with Maurice Gregory, brother of Papa San and former Third World keyboardist. The track was released in 2022 and has been picked up by the Antigua Tourist Board to promote the country as a travel destination.<\/p>\n Causion also made his acting debut in \u2018Deep Blue\u2019<\/strong>, a movie produced by the husband-and-wife team of Howard and Mitzi Allen. He plays Leroy in the film, which premiered in Antigua on March 25.\u00a0 \u2018Deep Blue\u2019<\/strong> addresses environmental issues, a topic the Allens are passionate about. Causion, who is from the town of St. Paul in Antigua, has similar views.\u00a0 \u201cWe get so caught up in development that we are killing off a portion of the place that we need for our survival,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Last year, 55-year-old Causion underwent a marathon surgery for colon cancer in Florida where he has lived since the 1990s. While his recovery has required extensive medical attention, writing, and recording songs and appearing in \u2018Deep Blue\u2019<\/strong>, has inspired him to fight even more.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019m trying to do is get my life back on track. I\u2019m in a good place and I thank God for that,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u2018Mission in Progress\u2019<\/em><\/strong> is the name of his upcoming album.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s been four years since singer Causion was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer.
