After more than 20 years of hosting country music shows on SiriusXM, beloved on-air personality and singer-songwriter Dallas Wayne has signed off — temporarily, he hopes — as he battles a blood cancer called multiple myeloma.
Wayne, a mainstay on SiriusXM channels Willieâs Roadhouse (61) and Outlaw Country (62) revealed via a social media post on October 14, 2025, that he received the diagnosis “a while back” and has been in treatment, but now needs to undergo an autologous stem cell transplant, which will require him to step away from the mic.
“Iâve been undergoing treatment for some time now,” he wrote, “and while there is no ‘cure’ for this type of cancer, it looks like Iâm well on my way to remission. My prognosis is promising â I am hopeful.”
SiriusXM’s Dallas Wayne Says He Has ‘Complete Faith’ in His Medical Team
Wayne shared his news “in the spirit of transparency,” noting that “in the coming weeks, I’ll be taking some time off my radio show” to undergo his upcoming procedure.
“Rest assured that Iâm surrounded by a team of excellent doctors and medical professionals that are taking great care of me, and I have complete faith in their expertise,” Wayne told his fans. “But Iâll need a little time to rest and recover.”
“In the meantime,” he continued, “thank you all for your support and understanding. I look forward to seeing you on the radio, and on the road, again very soon! As we say on the radio every day, ‘Be safe, and be good to each other; itâs the right thing to do.’”
An autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), according to Mayo Clinic, is an intense process that “uses healthy blood stem cells from your own body to replace bone marrow that’s not working properly.” It’s typically performed on patients whose bone marrow has been damaged due to high doses of chemotherapy and radiation.
A typical ASCT patient spends around six weeks in a hospital or transplant facility, per the International Myeloma Foundation, and the average recovery takes three to six months.
