"Luke is doing great. He went through his second round of chemo. He is battling. He is actually going to Nashville to do some writing very soon, [a] second round of writing," Johns tells Access Hollywood."He is feeling really fit and healthy but it’s not getting in the way of his career. He actually told me he was going to come to a couple of ['American Idol' Live Tour] shows," Johns added.
