Former U.S. President Joe Biden’s health has taken another serious turn after his son, Hunter Biden, revealed that his father’s prostate cancer has metastasized and is causing significant pain. In a recent BBC interview, Hunter became emotional while describing the condition as deeply difficult for the family, saying the cancer had spread to his father’s bones and beyond. The disclosure has immediately revived questions about Biden’s health, his public appearances and the political legacy he is preparing to revisit in a forthcoming memoir.
The revelation arrives at an unusually busy moment for the 83-year-old former president. While President Donald J. Trump occupies the White House and prepares for the 2026 midterm political battle, Biden remains determined to speak publicly about issues important to him — proving that retirement from the Oval Office does not necessarily mean retirement from American political drama.
A PAINFUL REVELATION THAT HAS PUT BIDEN’S HEALTH BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Hunter Biden described watching his father’s condition as “very sad,” saying the cancer had spread and become painful and debilitating. The comments provide one of the clearest public updates on Biden’s condition since he disclosed his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, shortly after leaving office.
The health disclosure also brings renewed attention to the controversy that surrounded Biden during his presidency, when questions about his age and fitness for office became increasingly prominent. His disastrous 2024 presidential debate performance eventually contributed to his decision to abandon his reelection campaign, paving the way for Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The latest revelation is therefore not simply a family health update; it also touches one of the most heavily debated chapters of Biden’s political career.
STILL SPEAKING OUT — AND STILL WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER
Despite his worsening health, Hunter said his father remains “out there” and continues speaking about issues that matter to him. In the world of American politics, apparently even serious illness has not managed to convince Joe Biden that the microphone should be permanently switched off. Hunter said his father still believes strongly in the United States, presenting the former president as determined to remain publicly engaged despite the pain.
Meanwhile, Biden has another major appearance waiting for him — on bookshelves. His memoir, Promise Me, America, is scheduled for publication on November 17, 2026, shortly after the November midterm elections. The book is expected to address his presidency, his decision to seek reelection, his eventual withdrawal from the race and major issues including COVID-19, the economy, Afghanistan and Ukraine.
The timing could make the memoir politically explosive. Democrats will be campaigning during the midterms while trying to keep attention focused on President Trump and his record, meaning Biden’s return to the political conversation could reopen old arguments about his presidency, his health and the decision to seek another term.
For now, however, the central story is personal rather than political: Hunter has offered a sobering account of his father’s worsening cancer and the pain it is causing. The disclosure is likely to generate further questions about Joe’s condition, his future public role and what his forthcoming memoir will reveal about the final years of his presidency. OGM News will continue watching the story as further details emerge.
