South African music legend Johnny Clegg, who defied that country’s apartheid-era racial barriers, then celebrated its new democracy under Nelson Mandela and took his Zulu-infused music around the world has launched what he calls “The Final Journey.”

Clegg, who is 64, is being treated for pancreatic cancer but says he feels fit and strong and plans stops in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Australia.

The British born musician says his cancer is now in remission but has divided his final tour into legs to allow for rest periods between shows.
